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.
