This is cut and pasted from the university of ND website, but many other sites have similar tables.

0.25 is not extraordinary at all. Took care of a 0.60 in the ER last night ( it was his birthday and he was clearly a chronic drinker) . Everybody is different. Put an 18 yo on the ventilator last night for a couple hrs because he was stuperous at 0.125. My guess is that as many of you exit the hotel bar at the National after a late night round table ... You'd blow a 0.2 . It's all a matter of developed tolerance. Tragic in this case... which is pretty much the outcome when you drink and drive
