While many people still believe the drink drive limit is determined by the amount of alcoholic units you have consumed, this is not the case. It is impossible to say how many drinks the legal drink drive limit equates to, as it is different for each person.
The legal drink drive limit in England, Wales and Northern Ireland is:
35 Micrograms per 100 millilitres of breath
80 Milligrammes per 100 millilitres of blood
107 Milligrammes per 100 millilitres of urine
The legal drink drive limit in Scotland is:
22 Micrograms per 100 millilitres of breath
