If you are arrested with a BAC between .16 and .24, then you will be required to use an “ignition interlock device” for at least six months after you regain your driver’s license.  An ignition interlock device is essentially a breathalyzer that is attached to the dash and it prevents ignition if a BAC above a certain level is detected.

If you are arrested with a BAC of .24 or above, then you will be required to use an ignition interlock device for at least one year after you regain your driver’s license.

Alaska has additional sentencing considerations.  See §28.35.030(n) for details.

Alaska BAC Per Se: 0.08 %

High BAC: 0.16 %

BAC Zero Tolerance: Same as adult.

Alaska Implied Consent Law/Test Refusal Consequences: Yes. Refusal to submit to a preliminary breath test at the request of a law enforcement officer is a Class A misdemeanor. In addition, your driver's license, privilege to drive or your privilege to obtain a license will be revoked by the Division of Motor Vehicles upon refusal.
