Alcohol and Driving
US Army, Feb 11, 2005
The three most critical skills necessary for a good, safe driver are judgment, vision and reaction.
Alcohol is a depressant, which impairs a driver's judgment, vision and reaction.
An individual's critical driving skills can become impaired well before reaching the illegal blood alcohol limit.
Alcohol may have a different effect each time a driver drinks depending on whether the individual has eaten, what they have eaten, mood, metabolism, the level of fatigue, and other factors.
A 12 oz. can of beer, a 5 oz. glass of wine and a 1 ½ oz. shot of liquor all have about the same amount of alcohol.
The body eliminates alcohol at a rate of about one drink per hour.
Alcohol and driving can be a deadly mix-You might kill or injure someone in a crash; You might be arrested for and convicted of drunk driving which can result in court costs, legal fees, higher automobile insurance, fines, loss of license and even imprisonment. Please make responsible choices.
