Question for Doctors, nurses or paramedics...?

Question

What does it mean when nurses say someone's alchol content was 60...

is it % (highly doubt it) or mg/L or what??

and how high of an alcohol level is that?

Answer 1

it is def not %, but what i am finding is, mg. per deciliter... if i am reading the calculations right, then it should be around 0.06%, which is under the legal limit for most states. so the person shouldnt be drunk, but is probably feeling a buzz....check out the link below, it might help clarify things...
