Illinois Law on Drunk and Drugged Driving
In Illinois, driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 or higher is illegal (625 ILCS 5/11-501.8). The law also prohibits operating a vehicle while under the influence of drugs. Whether those drugs are illegal substances like heroin and cocaine, or prescription medications that impair driving ability, makes no difference.
