What Does This Blood Alcohol Content Of 0.144 Indicate?
Question: What does Ethyl Alcohol Level 0.144 mean exactly. And should I lose my job?
Brief Answer:
alcohol level
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
A blood alcohol content between 0.13 and 0.19 is usually associated with gross motor incoordination and impairment in judgement. The way blood alcohol content is figured is in percent of blood that is alcohol. So 0.14 means that 14% of the liquid in blood is alcohol.
In Massachusetts, legal definition of intoxication is a blood alcohol content of 0.08 (or 8% alcohol in the blood).
So if your level was 0.144, this would indicate that the level of alcohol in the blood was significant and so I would assume your employer would be concerned about this.
