 The permittable drinking limit ranges rather heavily depending on the country, ranging between 0.00% for probationary drivers in Western Australia and 0.8% in many countries such as Canada, the UK and Ethiopia. Punishments for a violation also vary, with some countries implementing different levels of punishment depending on the blood alcohol content - however, most punishments are rather severe due to the dangerous nature of the crime and may include withdrawal of driving licence, large fines or prison time (especially with a repeat offence).
