The “legal limit for drinking” is the alcohol level above which an individual is subject to legal penalties (e.g., loss of a driver's license). Typically, this alcohol level is measured in blood or breath, using either a blood alcohol test or a breathalyzer, respectively. Legal limits are defined by a government entity (e.g., state legislature or regulatory agency), and are specific to the situation that a person is in (e.g., driving a car) as well as the characteristics of the person themselves (e.g., their age). For example, in most states, the current legal limit for operating a motor vehicle is 0.08%, or 80 mg/dL among drivers who are age 21 years or older. However, there is zero tolerance for drivers who are under age 21 years, meaning that they are not allowed to operate a motor vehicle with any alcohol in their system. In contrast, the legal limit is 0.04% or 40 mg/dL for commercial truck drivers. Different legal limits also apply to airline pilots, bus drivers, and to persons operating recreational watercraft. However, it is important to recognize that the legal limit does not define a level below which it is safe to operate a vehicle or engage in some other activity rather, the legal limit is intended to define a level at or above which an individual is subject to legal action under a specific set of circumstances. Therefore, decisions about the appropriate level of alcohol consumption in a particular situation should begin with a careful assessment of whether it’s appropriate to be drinking at all.  See More ...

Under 14 CFR 61.15, all pilots are required to submit a notification letter to AMC-700, within 60 calendar days of the effective date of an alcohol-related conviction or administrative action. For purposes of 14 CFR 61.15(c), alcohol-related convictions or administrative actions are referred to as motor vehicle actions (MVA).

An administrative action consists of a suspension, cancellation, or revocation of a driver license. Examples of administrative actions include a suspension, cancellation, or revocation of a driver license for driving with an excessive blood alcohol level or refusal to submit to a chemical or blood test. Airmen should be aware that the nature and duration of administrative actions varies among the states. For instance, some states, such as North Carolina, provide for a 10-day civil revocation for refusing to test. Other states may impose a lengthy suspension (e.g. 90 - 180 days) for a similar violation.  See More ...
