The Truth About Drinking Under the Influence (DUI)
Driving while intoxicated is the number one cause of motor vehicle injuries and death in the United States. Almost one million people each year are injured in auto accidents, around 17,000 don't make it out alive. Drinking and driving really is a dangerous combination. Could you live with yourself if you were the one to cause an accident that killed someone?
DUI Laws in the United States
Every state has different legal limits for driving under the influence. Blood alcohol content (BAC) typically becomes over the legal limit between 0.08-0.10 for adults over age 21, or between 0.01-0.02 for drivers under 21.
Consider that when you begin to relax after one or two drinks your BAC is at 0.03-0.059, when you start to feel really good you're at 0.06-0.1, slurred speech starts when BAC arrives at 0.11-0.2, followed by blackouts at 0.21-0.29, unconsciousness around 0.3-0.39, and finally death when your BAC reaches 0.4 or greater.
