You are probably referring to .08% alcohol in the blood stream, since at 8% you would have been dead long before.

In any case, in Canada at least, .08% blood alcohol is the amount considered to cause serious impairment in the operation of a motor vehicle. This amount or above will usually result in a "driving under the influence" (DUI) charge. Many other countries have even lower limits, with a few allowing no alcohol at all while driving (this is true in some parts of Canada for beginning drivers).

The figure itself means that 8/10,000'ths of your blood consists of ethyl alcohol.

At .20% most people will become unconscious; at .40% death from alcohol poisoning occurs.

What does 21 percent lower extremity impairment rating into 8 percent whole body rating?

A 21 percent lower extremity impairment rating translates to an 8 percent whole body impairment rating by considering the proportional contribution of the lower extremities to overall body function. This conversion is often based on established guidelines that assign specific percentages to different body parts relative to the whole body. In this case, the lower extremities are assessed to have a significant impact on overall functionality, hence the reduction to an 8 percent whole body rating. This rating is used for compensation purposes in cases of injury or disability.
