Minnesota’s drunk driving limit is currently 0.08%.

Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) or Blood Alcohol Concentration is measured in grams of alcohol in 100 grams of an individuals blood. For example, a BAC of 0.08% really means 0.08 grams of alcohol per 100 grams of blood.

Do not use a standard amount of drinks consumed to measure your BAC as it is not a good measure due to variations in individual physiology.

According to the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library:
Minnesota Statutes is a compilation of the general and permanent laws of the state, incorporating all new laws, amendments, or repeals of old law. It is printed every two years by the Revisor of Statutes Office.

Statutes are laws that apply to all citizens and cover a variety of topics, including the following: the Legislature, the executive branch, state departments, the judiciary and courts, tax policy, public safety and police authority, towns, cities, counties, commerce and trade, private property and private rights, civil injuries and remedies, and crimes against people and property and the penalties associated with them.

According to Wikipedia:

A statute is a formal written enactment of a legislative authority that governs a ,state, or county. Typically, statutes command or prohibit something, or declare policy. The word is often used to distinguish law made by legislative bodies from the judicial decisions of the common law and the regulations issued by Government agencies. Statutes are sometimes referred to as legislation or black letter law. As a source of law, statutes are considered primary authority (as opposed to secondary authority).
