What is the current legal BAC limit in Nevada?

The legal Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) limit in Nevada is 0.08 percent for most drivers, which is consistent with the standard in many states across the United States. This means that if a driver’s BAC is at or above this level, they are legally considered impaired and may be charged with driving under the influence (DUI).

Lower BAC levels, such as 0.05 percent, apply to certain categories of drivers, such as commercial drivers, but the general limit remains at 0.08 percent. Higher BAC percentages, such as 0.10 percent or 1.0 percent, exceed the legal threshold. In practice, aiming for a BAC below the legal limit not only complies with the law but also promotes safer driving practices and reduces the risk of accidents and fatalities on the road.
