About the Indicator:

As a depressant, alcohol use interferes with coordination, judgment and reaction time and can have fatal consequences. Driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level 0.08 or higher, 0.04 in a commercial vehicle, or any amount at all if the driver is under age 21 is a legal violation and can be assessed from different sources.

Data are reported on DUI arrests and incidents on record¹.

State and national comparisons can be found here by downloading the State Epi Profile .

¹An incident on record refers to either 1) a civil implied consent revocation for failing or refusing an alcohol concentration test, or 2) a criminal conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, which is recorded on the person’s Minnesota driving record.
