What does a 150.3 blood alcohol level mean?

See below: This would be the equivalent of six standard drinks in 160-165 lb man ( more in a heavier man and less in a female of the same weight ) not allowing for the breakdown of any alcohol which is typically one drink every 60-90 mins. If no tolerance, one is quite intoxicated. Dwi is at 80.0, aggravated dwi at 180.

Likely 150.3mg/dL.: The first thing that should be done when getting a reading is to make sure of the units it is in, i.e. That you are reading it right. It is also important to get the reference range to see where it lies. According to the reference unit of measurement, 1% by volume blood alcohol content is 1g/100ml or 1000mg/dl. So .1503% is likely 150.3mg/dl. If >.5% it usually causes death. Check to be sure.
