For underage drivers, a zero-tolerance law applies. Drivers under the legal drinking age commit a criminal offense for having blood alcohol contents of .01 to .02 percent in any U.S. state. These offenses could lead to loss of license, harsh fines, court ordered substance abuse treatment,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or possibly jail time depending on the amount of alcohol in the driver's blood. The Federal courts have zero tolerance for underage drinking,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], especially when the underage person is driving a vehicle.
Across the country, every state has a DUI intoxication level of .08 percent, this was set up by the Federal courts. If your blood alcohol content is at or above that level, you are deemed as driving under the influence by the court system and charges can be pressed throughout all of the 50 states. Charges can include a loss of license, harsh fines, and possible jail time.;

The legal limit of an intoxicated driver is consistent across America. If you are found driving under the influence, you will be charged with a crime, and consequences will follow such actions. Federal law regulates the legal drinking age,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as well as the legal drinking limit. So how do you know when you have had one too many? And what is the difference between zero tolerance and "per se" BAC? What does an implied consent law mean? All of these federal laws remain consistent from state to state, so regardless of where you are driving, be careful if you think you have had one too many.
Implied consent tests can be requested by the police officer who pulls the driver over and suspects intoxication; this could be done in the form of urine specimens, hair tests, blood testing or breathalyzer administration if the driver is suspected of being intoxicated. The implied consent testing could lead to loss of a driver's license, harsh fines, and possible jail time depending on the results of the tests. Implied consent tests are done in the event that a person refuses a breathalizer and is suspected of having been drinking.
Under the enhanced penalty law, harsher fines and rulings can result for drivers who register blood alcohol levels over .15 to .20 percent. This is atleast twice the legal driving limit. Most likely this will result in jail time, costly fines, and the loss of the driver's license for an extended period of time. Court ordered treatment programs, substance abuse counseling, as well as 12-step attendance can also be included in the ruling.
