1. This guide shows, for a given individual, the Washington State Liquor Control Board’s best guess as to what the breath test results would be for a given amount of drinking. There are so many variables in the formula used to calculate breath test results based upon weight and number of drinks consumed that it has limited utility as a way to precisely determine an individual’s breath alcohol concentration. Do not use this chart as a way to determine if you are “legal” to drive. Bear in mind that a DUI charge can be brought even if the driver’s reading was under .08 if there is evidence that the driver was under the influence of alcohol.

2. One drink=1 ounce of 80 proof spirits; 3 ounce glass of wine; or 8 ounce glass of 5% beer.
