That’s not how it works. .26 BAC is .26 g/100mL so it’s the exact same in Europe. A BAC of 2.6 is not possible as you’d die before ever getting to 1 . Also ‰ is literally just for one thousandths percentages.
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

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.
In my European mind, a BAC of 0.26 refers to a BAC of 0.26‰ which is fairly low, due to the lack of units.
But it referred to a BAC of 2.6‰, which is extremely high.

.26 is very high in American units when .08 is legal limit in a lot of places! So whatever the higher option is, most likely for non American units.
