Question:
If you are found to be driving with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.18% or above, you will be charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated (Agg-DWI). To reach a BAC of 0.18%, an average 180-pound man would have to consume as many as six shots of 80-proof liquor before his body started to break down the alcohol. The penalties for Agg-DWI are more severe than for ordinary DWI.
