What is the Alabama blood alcohol limit?

My friend and I are going to attend a University of Alabama football game and we’re super excited about it. The only issue is that our hotel is about 5 miles from the stadium. I know we’re going to drink, but I don’t want to risk a DUI. What’s the blood alcohol limit in Alabama?

Going to a University of Alabama football game is a rite of passage for college football fans. However,
DUI laws in Alabama
are somewhat strict and the Alabama blood alcohol limit is .08. That may seem like you have some wiggle room, but even two or three drinks in a short time can put you over the limit.
If you’re caught driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 or over, you’re subject to the following penalties in
Alabama
:
  • Between $600 and $2,100 in fines not including court costs
  • Minimum license suspension of 90 days
In addition to these penalties, you’re also likely to see a drastic increase in your car insurance rates. Use the
