When there’s no % or ‰ anywhere, people assume its in the unit that is most commonly associated with BAC readings in their country. Which in the EU, is ‰
Your local news would say a BAC of 0.26, their local news would say a BAC of 2.6
That’s still inaccurate, sort of. I did more digging and found that Europe does use percentages for BAC, however they also use gramms/Liter. So it’s still % but one decimal place off because of L vs 100mL. Though maybe some local places in Europe use per mile to get numbers like 2.6 . Unless they specifically are talking about US BAC and converting it to EU BAC.
For per mile. For BAC, not so much as I said it’s g/100mL.
Awesome. They specifically mentioned what it would be in European units for their understanding. They weren’t talking to you directly.
Sure, but there’s no % there, it just say BAC.
