Legally drunk is simply the government definition of drunk. A man or woman who can hardly stand up or walk or speak in cohesive sentences is quite obviously drunk. Someone legally drunk however may be able to do all those things quite well and show no obvious signs of intoxication other than a smell of alcohol on their breath. Therefore state sets a blood alcohol level (usually.08) as the legal definition of drunk. This allows an arrest to be made and a difficult almost impossible case to defend in court. The question of drunkenness is answered by the legal definition and if you were .08 you were by law, drunk. A jury would have no choice based on the law but to find you guilty.

Every state has a drinking limitation whether is 1.8 or 1.5, whenever you reach that point then you are legally drunk. So being legally drunk in one state ,you may not be considered drunk in another. So I would say first of all don't drink and drive, then you will not have to worry about the state limitations. If you choose to drive under the influence, you got a lot more too worry about then what the state limitations are.

Well it's not legal to be drunk underage, behind the wheel of a motor vehicle or out in public, of course in some countries and places just having alcohol is illegal, so I guess you can be legally drunk in private parties in some countries, God Bless the USA! :D

Blow a point .08 on a blood alcohol test. That is considered "legally drunk".

If your blood alcohol level exceeds the percentage limit for the state, then you are "legally drunk." For example, the limit in Georgia is .08 percent. if your Blood Alcohol Level exceeds that amount, then you are considered legally drunk......

I believe that is 'Legally Under the Influence", as in within the parameters set in each state for intoxication. Legally Stupid is an entirely different matter.

In the state of Oregon if you are operating a vehicle, if you blow a .08 and above, you are DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED. However, if you blow below .08 you are DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF INTOXICANTS. Hence DUII & DWI. Yes- they can get you for EITHER one.
