You Can Be Charged with a DUI

Newsflash from your Hollywood Attorney:

Your evening may have started innocently enough. Perhaps you had dinner with your significant other and had a few glasses of wine or beer. Or you may have been out playing softball or touch football with friends and had a few beers during the game or afterwards. You may not realize it at the time but your blood alcohol could be above the legal limit and if you are pulled over by police, you can be charged with a DUI.

You do not have to be falling down to be considered a drunk driver. Many people are surprised to find that their blood alcohol content is over the legal limit but even two drinks can cause a person’s coordination to be impaired. Some people think that they cannot get drunk by drinking wine or beer. They may be shocked to find out that a 5 ounce glass of wine has the same amount of alcohol as a 1.5 ounce shot of liquor. That is because it is not what you drink that makes you drunk; it is the amount of alcohol you drink over a specific period of time, according to the Mothers Against Drunk Drivers website statistics.

If you plan to go out drinking, take precautions so you avoid a DUI charge. Appoint a designated driver or call a friend or family member to pick you up. If you cannot reach a loved one, call a taxi. Having a DUI on your record is extremely serious and the consequences are harsh.
