Drunk Driving Is Dangerous

Driving after you have had anything to drink it simply too dangerous. Even if you are not legally intoxicated, your reaction times and driving skills can be impaired after even one alcoholic drink.

If you have had enough to drink to make you legally intoxicated - a blood-alcohol level of 0.80 in all 50 states - your chances of being involved in an accident increases exponentially.

If you are arrested for driving while intoxicated, you will find that the consequences are a lot more significant that you may remember them. It's not just a matter of going to court and paying a fine. You will lose your driving privileges until you complete a long list of requirements that can include an evaluation of your alcohol consumption, an alcohol educational program, possible treatment for your alcohol problem, an increase in your auto insurance rates for years, and in a growing number of states the installation of an ignition interlock device on your vehicle.

Society has decided that it has had enough of drunk driving, reflected in the increase in penalties for driving under the influence in every state in the nation.
