Under Indiana Law, anyone with a blood alcohol
content (BAC) above .08% is considered to be
intoxicated. According to lawyer John Roska of
the Land of Lincoln Legal Assistance Foundation, “a
150-pound person would apparently have to drink a
whole case of non-alcoholic brew (24 bottles) in one
hour to do that. But it wouldn’t necessarily take a
lot... to produce something more than zero [on a breathalyzer
test].”It is illegal for a minor in Indiana to operate a motor vehicle
with BAC higher than .02% under the Zero Tolerance
provision. Thus, the individual in the example above would
only have to drink six bottles of a non-alcoholic beverage
within an hour to be legally vulnerable behind the wheel.
Additionally, according to a report published by Indiana
University, a standard glass of orange juice contains between
.2% and .5% alcohol. Six glasses of orange juice could
theoretically create the same culpability in a minor as six
bottles of non-alcoholic beer.
