What is the Alaska blood alcohol limit?

I’m heading to Alaska next month. A friend told me that the only way to explore the state is by driving. However, I like to have a glass of wine or a beer at lunch and dinner. What’s the blood alcohol limit in Alaska?

That’s an exciting trip! If you’re going to drive around the Last Frontier, the
Alaska
blood alcohol limit is .08, or 80 mg of alcohol per 100 mL of blood. That being said, if you’re planning on drinking, it’s always good to have a ride lined up or a bed in your friend’s guest room.
If you’re caught driving over the legal limit, you could be at risk for a DWI. The penalties for a DWI in Alaska are:
  • Minimum 72 hours of jail time
  • Fines between $600 and $2,100 not including court costs
  • Minimum of 90-day license suspension
  • A required ignition interlock system on your car
Getting a DUI can also cause your insurance rates to skyrocket. If this happens to you, use the
