Y90: Evidence of alcohol involvement determined by blood alcohol level
Y90.6: Blood alcohol level of 120-199 mg/100 ml
A blood alcohol level of 120-199 mg/100 ml is the measurement used to determine the amount of alcohol present in your bloodstream. This means for every 100 ml of your blood, there is between 120 to 199 milligrams of alcohol present. This level indicates a high level of intoxication, which can be associated with impaired physical and mental ability. It is often the result of consuming large quantities of alcohol in a short amount of time. Common symptoms at this level include significant impairment of motor control, potential blackouts, and an inability to perform tasks requiring attention. Most importantly, at such high levels, alcohol may moreover impact the central nervous system and other vital body organs, potentially leading to life-threatening health issues.
