Explanation
Because the legal drinking age is 21, drivers under that age are subject to stricter alcohol laws. In Ohio, a driver under 21 can be charged with Operating a Vehicle after Underage Alcohol Consumption (OVUAC) if their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.02% or higher. This is a very low threshold-often reached after just one drink. Driving under the influence is extremely dangerous, and the penalties for underage drinking and driving are serious. They may include suspension of your driver’s license, fines, and other legal consequences.
