DUI Under 21 Years of Age | DUI Lawyer in Phoenix | DUI Attorney Phoenix AZ
While adults may have a blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or higher in order for them to be considered "impaired", drivers under 21 years of age can be charged with DUI for having any alcohol in their system (.01% BAC), even if there are no physical signs of impairment. Furthermore, a minor DUI conviction carries a two-year suspension of your driving priviledges, even for a first-offense.
