The body takes about an hour to rid itself of the alcohol

in one drink. No amount of coffee or number of cold

showers will speed that up. “I’ll be careful” isn’t the

right answer. What if there’s an emergency, a need to

take sudden action, as when a child darts into the street?

A person with even a moderate BAC might not be able

to react quickly enough to avoid the collision.

There’s something else about drinking and driving that

many people don’t know. Medical research shows that

alcohol in a person’s system can make crash injuries

worse, especially injuries to the brain, spinal cord or

heart. This means that when anyone who has been

drinking

-- driver or passenger -- is in a crash, that

person’s chance of being killed or permanently disabled

is higher than if the person had not been drinking.

CAUTION:

Drinking and then driving is very dangerous.

Your reflexes, perceptions, attentiveness and

judgment can be affected by even a small amount

of alcohol. You can have a serious

-- or even

fatal

-- collision if you drive after drinking.

Please don’t drink and drive or ride with a driver

who has been drinking. Ride home in a cab; or if

you’re with a group, designate a driver who will

not drink.
