But the ability to drive is affected well below a BAC of

0.10 percent. Research shows that the driving skills

of many people are impaired at a BAC approaching

0.05 percent, and that the effects are worse at night.

All drivers are impaired at BAC levels above

0.05 percent. Statistics show that the chance of being in

a collision increases sharply for drivers who have a

BAC of 0.05 percent or above. A driver with a BAC level

of 0.06 percent has doubled his or her chance of

having a collision. At a BAC level of 0.10 percent, the

chance of this driver having a collision is 12 times

greater; at a level of 0.15 percent, the chance is

25 times greater!

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 will be careful” is not the

right answer. What if there is 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 is something else about drinking and driving that

many people do not 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 do not drink and drive or ride with a

driver who has been drinking. Ride home in a

cab; or if you are with a group, designate a

driver who will not drink.
