Wisconsin Police Officer Observation for Influence of Alcohol
Common Signs of Alcohol Influence
The training of a Wisconsin officer allows them to make an “informed decision” of how many drinks a person had based on Blood Alcohol Content (BAC). Officers are taught a BAC of .03% causes a person to have slowed reaction. This is also the typical BAC of a person who has consumed one to two drinks. A person with a BAC of .05% will exhibit increased risk taking, which includes behavior being the only person on the dance floor or looking to start a fight. Vision is impaired at a BAC of .08%, and a person has poor coordination with a BAC of .10%.
