Understanding DUI Laws in Arizona
Blood Alcohol & Drug Concentration Tests And Limits
Arizona’s test measures your blood alcohol level to determine if you are drunk or intoxicated. Arizona has a zero tolerance law for underage drinkers, (those under 21). Adults with driver’s licenses have a limit of 0.08 percent, however if you have a commercial driver’s license in Arizona your limit is half that at 0.04 percent. The BADC also measures your blood for drug content. If you test positive for drugs you will either be issued a prescription drug related DUI or an illegal drug related DUI
