BAC Level
Where BAC is known.
According to 2021 case data where Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) could be captured, 49% of the cases had BACs between .09 and .19–up to twice the legal limit by law. This was followed by 40% of cases with BACs of .20 or higher and then 11% with BACs of .08 or lower. While this is just a snapshot of 150 cases, it is alarming in that more than 90% of all alcohol-related impaired drivers tested either above the legal limit of .08 up to three times the legal limit while on the roads of Nevada.

In 2021, Nevada was able to monitor 397 more DUI cases than in 2020. The disposition trends were similar, with a slight increase in guilty convictions and decrease in dismissed cases in 2021. This may be due to courts resuming a more normal schedule and the pandemic having less of an impact.
