The BAC limit for someone on probation is ZERO. Drinking usually violates your probation. I'm surprised you were released at all. your probation officer should have been notified of your arrest and could have revoked your probation.

If you are on probation, you might not be allowed to consume ANY alcohol, especially a DUI probation. Depending on what your original charge was (the one that you are on probation for) you could lose your license, lose your car, go to jail, pay a fine, be forced to take a class, do community service, etc. It is impossible to know without knowing why you are on probation and what the terms of your probation are.

Well did they take your license ? and if so, you do have a case pending in court. Are you allowed to drink at all on your probation ? If not you might a problem. Find a lawyer that has dealt with second on third time offenders and you should be ok.

'i doubt that im allowed to drink'
you 'doubt', as in you're 'not sure'?
if you're on probation, particualrly for a felony, you learn, know and LIVE the terms of probation to the letter.
you need to contact your lawyer, and you need to figure out how you're going to tell your probation officer that from here on out, you're never going to break it again, even in the smallest way
you'd better get your sh it together, and you'd better do it quick
