& Driving Under The Influence: DUI Jurisdictions : Many jurisdictions require more serious penalties (such as jail time, larger fines, longer DUI program, the installation of ignition interlock devices) in cases where the driver's BAC is over 0.20, or 0.15 in some places.

In many cases, the reason given for these additional sanctions is because an average person would have passed out from that much alcohol.
