When you drink beer or cocktails, the alcohol is absorbed into your blood stream. Driving with a BAC level of .08 or above is illegal in Colorado. The level of alcohol in your blood, called the blood alcohol content (BAC), can be measured by different tests.
You can still be charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI) without the results of a blood alcohol test or even if your BAC is lower than the legal limit. Your breath, your behavior, language and motor skills may indicate that you’re intoxicated and unable to drive safely.
If the police see you driving erratically, they're can stop and question you for a possible DWI charge. If they think you've been drinking, they can require you to take a breathalyzer test or provide a blood sample to measure your BAC. Refusal to take a test can mean automatic suspension of your license.
