BAC refers to the blood alcohol content found within the body when a person is intoxicated. The levels at which alcohol reacts within the body is influenced by many factors. General studies have provided that with 0.06 - 0.10 BAC, a personâs reflexes are declined.

An altered level of consciousness is any measure of arousal other than normal. Level of consciousness (LOC) is a measurement of a person's arousability and responsiveness to stimuli from the environment.A mildly depressed level of consciousness or alertness may be classed as lethargy; someone in this state can be aroused with little difficulty. decreased level of consciousness correlates to increased morbidity (sickness) and mortality (death). Thus it is a valuable measure of a patient's medical and neurological status.
