When your ability to divide your attention is impaired the chances of being involved in a collision increase. A BAL as low as 0.02 has been shown to affect divided attention while driving.
BAL stands for Blood Alcohol Concentration Level. As the BAL increases, so does the level of impairment. The nearer the BAL is to 1, the more probable it is to meet an accident while driving. Thus, it is better to either ride a cab in going home or sleep in a safe place until the alcohol leaves the bloodstream.
