Perhaps - it is illegal for you to drive a vehicle while you are what the law calls under the influence of alcohol, prescription drugs, or illegal drugs.
For alcohol, the police use a breathalyser to find out if you have any alcohol in your system. The breathalyser will show your blood alcohol concentration (BAC).
For some drivers, if your BAC is not zero, you are breaking the law. You are breaking the law if you drive with any alcohol in your system and:
you have a learner licence
you have a provisional, probationary or restricted licence (for example, a ‘P’ licence)
you have a class RE motorbike licence and you have held that licence for less than 12 months or you are learning to ride a class R motorbike
you drive a tractor or specially constructed vehicle.
you drive a truck, a bus, articulated vehicle, road train, a vehicle carrying dangerous goods, a tow truck, pilot vehicle, taxi, limousine or driving instructor vehicle
For all other drivers, if your BAC is 0.05% or more, you are 'over the limit' and you are breaking the law.
