These terms are often used interchangeably, when in fact there is a difference between a breathalyzer and BAC. A breathalyzer doesn’t read blood alcohol content but rather attempts to estimate it by measuring the amount of alcohol in your breath from the lungs.
The questions arise all the time: How could I be arrested if my BAC was below .08? How could I get suspended from work for being under the influence if my BAC was below .08? How could I have gotten arrested? How could I have gotten kicked out of the high school basketball game?

Breathalyzers translate breath alcohol content to BAC by assuming a specific ratio (2100:1) between the two. However, this ratio applies to the “average person,” when in fact this ratio may vary between 1700:1 and 2400:1 in different people. Thus, breathalyzer test results are commonly challenged.
DUI penalties may differ from state to state, but the one constant is that they are very severe. A DUI conviction may lead to criminal penalties, civil fines and other adverse consequences, and are often dependent on the state and the person’s prior DUI or other criminal record.
