The excess alcohol limits for the UK must not exceed the following:-

Breath 35 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath

Blood 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood

Urine 107 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of urine.

Do not know about the other countries

The blood alcohol limit in New Zealand is 80mg per 100ml of blood but the Transoprt minister wants it reduced to 50mg.

Try this web site - it gives you all the information you need

http://www.alcoweb.com/e...d/legislation_blood.html

Or the Institute of alchol studies http://www.ias.org.uk/
which has some very interesting factsheets, including the sentences you can expect for exceeding the limits in the various Countries. Best advice is DONT DO IT !

Cheers
