When there’s no % or ‰ anywhere, people assume its in the unit that is most commonly associated with BAC readings in their country. Which in the EU, is ‰
Your local news would say a BAC of 0.26, their local news would say a BAC of 2.6
That’s still inaccurate, sort of. I did more digging and found that Europe does use percentages for BAC, however they also use gramms/Liter. So it’s still % but one decimal place off because of L vs 100mL. Though maybe some local places in Europe use per mile to get numbers like 2.6 . Unless they specifically are talking about US BAC and converting it to EU BAC.
I’m pretty sure they’re correct. 0.26 per cent is 2.6 per mille (thousand).
For per mile. For BAC, not so much as I said it’s g/100mL.
Sure, but there’s no % there, it just say BAC.

Awesome. They specifically mentioned what it would be in European units for their understanding. They weren’t talking to you directly.
