1(800) 615-1067No, it is not legal or safe to drive while drunk. Drinking alcohol impairs judgment, slows reaction times, reduces coordination, and affects perception, all of which can increase the risk of accidents and injuries while driving. In most countries, including the United States, driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 or higher is considered illegal and can result in serious legal consequences, such as fines, license suspension or revocation, and even imprisonment. It is important to always designate a sober driver or arrange for alternate transportation if you plan on drinking.
