What is the blood alcohol limit in Minnesota?

What is the BAC limit in Minnesota? I’m worried about getting a drunk driving charge for having two drinks before driving.

Liz Jenson · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Minnesota
 has a blood-alcohol content (BAC) limit of 0.08%. Assuming that your BAC raises by about 0.02% with every drink, you may be within the legal limit after two drinks.
However, it is possible to be arrested and charged with a DWI with a lower BAC if your driving suffers due to the alcohol in your system. If you notice that your coordination is off, you’re having difficulty seeing clearly, or your inhibitions have lowered significantly, don’t get behind the wheel.
It’s also possible that two drinks will raise your BAC by more than 0.02% depending on your body type. Those with a higher body fat percentage and those with a generally larger body will require more alcohol to reach a 0.08% BAC.
While you can keep yourself safe by maintaining a low BAC, accidents still happen. Check out the

car insurance
 will cover you if you do run into trouble on the road. Signing up takes less than a minute.

Where are BMW motorcycles made?
BMW motorcycles seem to be a separate division of the company—I’m shopping for one and noticed that they have their own website and everything. Are they produced in the same facilities? Where are BMW motorcycles made?
