THE OKLAHOMAN NEWSOK.COM 7A THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 2018 Panel advocates lower DUI limits eaten. The report cites studies indicating most women over 120 pounds would reach 0.05 after two drinks. Men weighing up to about 160 pounds would likely reach the lower threshold at two, and those over 180 pounds at three. The panel, in its 489-page report, also recommended that states significantly increase alcohol taxes and make alcohol less conveniently available, including reducing the hours and days alcohol is sold in stores, bars and restaurants.

It calls for lowering the blood-alcohol concentration threshold from 0.08 to 0.05.
All states have 0.08 thresholds.
