Alcohol....is a powerful drug, medically classified as a depressant, which affects you physically. When an alcoholic beverage is consumed, it does not need to be digested. Therefore, it is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, and is slowly processed by the liver until it is removed from your body. Alcohol slows the thought processes in the brain, numbs brain cells and affects all major organs. Additionally, alcohol affects your driving skills, because it affects the central nervous system. This leads to:
1) Slow reaction time, which interferes with your coordination.
2) Visual problems, such as double or multiple vision, blurring, and reduced side vision.
3) Poor judgement and the inability to make safe decisions.
4) Loss of concentration and drowsiness.
o During 2003, 17,013 people in the U.S. died in alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes, representing 40% of all traffic-related deaths (NHTSA 2004a).
o In 2002, about 1.5 million drivers were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics (NHTSA 2004a). That’s slightly more than one percent of the 120 million self-reported episodes of alcohol–impaired driving among U.S. adults each year (Dellinger 1999).
o Drugs other than alcohol (e.g., marijuana and cocaine) are involved in about 18% of motor vehicle driver deaths. These other drugs are generally used in combination with alcohol (NHTSA 2003).
o More than two-thirds of child passengers ages 14 and younger who died in alcohol-related crashes during 1997–2002 were riding with the drinking driver; only 32% of them were properly restrained at the time of the crash (Shults 2004).

^^^Yep yep. The legal limit if you get in a Code 1 (wreck) is .05. So if you scrape or even tap someone elses car and you get caught you maybe under the .08 but over the .05 youre screwed.
Also Supra man, if you stop drinking and test your BAC with a PAS (prelimnary alcohol screening) and it is .090 your level could still be going up. We have had guys that PAS on the Road with (for example) .100 and when they get to the intoxilyzer they blow a .120. You never know how your body absorbs or deals with alcohol. On average the a normal adult homo sapien (when they are comming down) loses about .015 per hour.
Bananas dont help, water doesnt help, food doesnt help. Only time helps. The easiest way is to not F**KING drive drunk. I know plenty people do, but dont expect any sympathy when the cop pulls you over "for no reason at all" (When your drunk a$$ forgot to turn on your headlights and are driving the wrong way on Beretania) But you were okay to drive.
I cant think of one cop who doenst absolutely hate DUI'S. They are the people who write the complaints, and give us the "Why dont you go catch the real criminals" When as you can see in the numbers above, Drunk drivers are just a dangerous if not more than your common ice head in china town or car theif.
Sorry to vent but I HATE DRUNK DRIVERS!!!!!!

Don't drink any alcoholic beverages and drive - period.
Any "breathalizers" that you can buy are not accurate. Plus you can still blow under the legal limit and get charged if you are impaired.
DUI/DWI can cost you up to $40,000 and kill people...again Don't drink any alcoholic beverages and drive - period.
I'm sure the other HIIC cops will post up on this on.
