Look VERY CAREFULLY at the numbers I posted. You will notice there is a little thing call a decimal point AND a percentage sign.
0.08% is 1/100 of 8%.
@ sagar - I think you are confusing .08 as a decimal of 1 with .08%.
.08 as a decimal of 1 converts to 8% but .08% equals .0008 as a decimal. When citing BAC’s the % sign is often omitted but implied as it is always expressed as a percentage of blood volume.
A person whose blood is, even if they could physically reach that level, at 8% would be long dead, basically embalmed.
A BAC of 0.250-0.399% = Alcohol poisoning. Loss of consciousness. A BAC of 0.40% + (or .004 expressed as a decimal) = Onset of coma, possible death due to respiratory arrest.
Blood alcohol content is usually expressed as a percentage of ethanol in the blood in units of mass of alcohol per volume of blood or mass of alcohol per mass of blood, depending on the country. For instance, in North America a BAC of 0.1 (0.1% or one tenth of one percent) means that there are 0.10 g of alcohol for every dL of blood.
