After a big night on the town, you could get a DUI on your way to work!
Many people believe that after drinking all night and get to bed at midnight that when they wake up at 6 am for work that they will be fine to drive by 7 a.m. The truth is they are still legally drunk. The reality is that alcohol is eliminated from our body at approximately .015% per hour. So, if you tie one on and get up to a .20 BAC (Blood Alcohol Content), it will take you 8 hours just to get down to a .08 and of course a .08 is still over the legal limit.Please think before you get behind the wheel because in reality, you could still get a DUI on your way to work after the big game.
1st Time Driving under the influence (under .15 BAC)
If you are convicted of a first time DUI the minimum jail time is 10 days with a maximum of 6 months. Also, your license will be suspended, you will have to pay for incarceration, and you could face the possibility of probation for up to 5 years.A DUI and your Job
In addition to a DUI has job-related consequences. Missed work from court appearances, mandatory alcohol treatment or serving jail time, all make the reality of losing your job very likely due to excessive absenteeism and in some cases mandatory dismissal due to the DUI itself.The bottom line is simple, don’t drink and drive. If you are arrested, immediately ask for a lawyer and contact the Law office of Aaron Black at 480-729-1683.
