Everyday we have certain tasks that are at hand that must be carried out, or responsibilities. From taking the kids to school, to going to work, picking up the laundry, or going by the grocery store to pick up a gallon of milk we all have things that have to be done everyday in order for our day to function properly. Everyone needs a break from that at some point for either a small portion of time or for a day or two. However, when an individual needs to resume their life after a certain point you are faced with the question, “ How much have you had to drink?”
Alcohol consumption is something that is present in everyday life of those either above or below the legal age of the consumption of the liquid. Many people simply “toss back” a couple of beers at the sports bar, or maybe have a glass or two of wine at dinner on a daily, or weekly basis. Yet, people still do not grasp the concept of when they have had too much, or more importantly is I able to drive home safely without endangering others or myself around me?
BAC, or blood alcohol content, is the measure of blood within an individual’s body that relays to health professionals, or usually law enforcement officials how much alcohol an individual has consumed. Many people now see that a breathalyzer is inaccurate and do not believe that it will determine their fate when dealing with a DUI charge. However, more often these days’ people are relying on blood tests to determine the BAC of an individual. The legal level is 0.08, which are often times easily exceeded just by a small bit. However, alcohol is also abused obviously since many people are drinking excessively, driving and placing risks with not only themselves, but also others on the roads.
Inevitably, drinking and driving just don’t serve as the best mix, yet people still insist, “Oh I’ll be fine! I only had a sip!” A sip can lead to a drink, and drink can lead to a few, and a few could lead to health related consequences on and off the roadways.
