SAY “NO MORE” TO ONE MORE: Having just one more drink or joint leads to more than you think. More driving under the influence. More accidents. More injuries. More deaths. And more lives changed forever. Please…support Connecticut’s trauma workers and take the pledge to say “no more” to one more.
The legal BAC (blood alcohol content) in Connecticut is .08 — or .02 if you’re under age 21. Anything over this is considered driving under the influence and a criminal offense. You can learn lots more about impaired driving here.
Don’t guess what your “one more” limit might be. Get an estimate with this BAC calculator to better understand when you should say “no more.”
