The legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limit for drivers varies by country and sometimes by state or jurisdiction within a country. As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, I don't have specific information on the legal BAC limit for commercial drivers under the age of 21 in every jurisdiction. It's important to note that laws can change, and regulations may vary.
In many places, the legal BAC limit for commercial drivers is lower than for non-commercial drivers. For example, in the United States, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) sets a limit of 0.04% BAC for commercial motor vehicle drivers. Additionally, many countries have a zero-tolerance policy for underage drivers, meaning that any detectable amount of alcohol in their system is grounds for penalties.
To get the most accurate and up-to-date information on this topic, it's recommended to check with the relevant local authorities or legal resources in the specific jurisdiction where you are concerned about the BAC limit for a commercial driver under the age of 21.
