to nie musi być aż tak skomplikowane... Pracuję często w sądach angielskich i słyszę po prostu.... (he) had more than two millilitres of alcohol in his breath ALBO tak jak napisała Pani Ewa.
"breathalyzer test" - to jest dodawanie czegoś co nie istnieje w zdaniu źródłowym

Per mille versus mg/l "Permille" and "mg/l" are two different ways of expressing alcohol content.

Permille is a unit of concentration used in Europe and other parts of the world. It indicates the alcohol content in the blood as a fraction of 1000. For example, 0.5‰ means that there is 0.05 grams of alcohol per 1 liter of blood.

When someone takes a breath test, the alcohol tester measures the amount of alcohol in the exhaled alveolar air, i.e. the amount of alcohol in mg per liter of air.

To convert a display in ‰ to a display in mg/l, the factor 2.27 must be used. - https://alcosafe.be/en/blogs/onze-webshop/promille-vs-bac-he...

nieścisłość w prasie Pamiętaj o tym, że dopuszczalna zawartość alkoholu we krwi a dopuszczalna ilość alkoholu w wydychanym powietrzu to dwie zupełnie inne sprawy.

[cut]

Dopuszczalna ilość promili odnosi się do pomiaru alkoholu we krwi.

[cut]

W tym celu korzysta się z alkomatu. Alkomat podaje jednak pomiar zawartości alkoholu w wydychanym powietrzu.

Dopuszczalna ilość alkoholu w wydychanym powietrzu jest wyrażona w miligramach, a we krwi – w promilach.

ciekawostka z wiki Major dictionaries do not agree on the spelling, giving other options of per mil, per mill, permil, permill, permille.

The word promille is the cognate in Dutch, German, Finnish and Swedish, and is sometimes seen as a loanword in English with the same meaning as per mille
