2.6‰ for us Europeans btw, America uses %

0.26‰ would only be slightly drunk with minor impairments, with that BAC you should be able to correct most "autopilot" mistakes

That’s not how it works. .26 BAC is .26 g/100mL so it’s the exact same in Europe. A BAC of 2.6 is not possible as you’d die before ever getting to 1 . Also ‰ is literally just for one thousandths percentages.

In my European mind, a BAC of 0.26 refers to a BAC of 0.26‰ which is fairly low, due to the lack of units.

But it referred to a BAC of 2.6‰, which is extremely high.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_alcohol_content

.26 is very high in American units when .08 is legal limit in a lot of places! So whatever the higher option is, most likely for non American units.

I'm pretty sure they're correct. 0.26 per cent is 2.6 per mille (thousand).

[+] hime0321 -7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

For per mile. For BAC, not so much as I said it’s g/100mL.

Sure, but there's no % there, it just say BAC.

When there's no % or ‰ anywhere, people assume its in the unit that is most commonly associated with BAC readings in their country. Which in the EU, is ‰

Your local news would say a BAC of 0.26, their local news would say a BAC of 2.6

[–] hime0321 1 points 20 hours ago

That’s still inaccurate, sort of. I did more digging and found that Europe does use percentages for BAC, however they also use gramms/Liter. So it’s still % but one decimal place off because of L vs 100mL. Though maybe some local places in Europe use per mile to get numbers like 2.6 . Unless they specifically are talking about US BAC and converting it to EU BAC.

Awesome. They specifically mentioned what it would be in European units for their understanding. They weren't talking to you directly.
