FAQs

In Colorado, the legal Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) limit for drivers under 21 is 0.02%. This is significantly lower than the standard limit of 0.08% for adult drivers. A BAC at or above this threshold can lead to a Baby DUI charge, which carries stricter penalties due to the driver's age.
