   Correct Answer
   A. 0.08%

Because impairment begins with the first drink, the only safe choice is a sober ride planned before drinking starts.

   A. License suspension and civil penalties

   Under New York's Zero Tolerance law, a driver under 21 with a measurable BAC of .02 to .07 has the license suspended for six months after a DMV hearing, and must pay a $100 suspension termination fee and a $125 civil penalty to be relicensed.
