Blood Alcohol Concentration
Your blood alcohol concentration, otherwise known as your BAC level, is the main evidence taken and used against a driver who is suspected of operating his or her vehicle under the influence of alcohol. Your BAC level is the concentration of alcohol in your system, or blood stream.
If you have been accused of driving under the influence, it is imperative that you get the professional legal support that you need and deserve.

Factors Influencing BAC
There are a number of factors that can have an impact on your blood alcohol concentration. These include:
- Weight
- Height
- Gender
- Metabolism
- How many drinks consumed
- How quickly drinks were consumed
- Length of time between eating and drinking
In the state of Texas, it is illegal for all adults over the age of 21 to drive a vehicle with a BAC of .08 or higher. For individuals under the age of 21, there is a zero tolerance policy, so any trace of alcohol (a BAC over 0.00) is against the law.
