DUI Evaluation Tempe

Posted on by

So just how dangerous is it to drive drunk? Having a blood alcohol content of just .10, a tiny bit over the legal limit, puts you at seven times higher of a risk for being involved in a crash that kills someone. If that level is raised to just .15, the risk increases to 25 times.

What about driving with a little bit of alcohol in your system? What if you are driving under the legal limit? Are you still putting yourself and people around you at risk?

Believe it or not, you could be. A blood alcohol content of .04, for instance, can increase the likelihood of someone being involved in a car crash by 1.4 times. Every drink that is added to that person’s system increases the risk dramatically. Doubling the blood alcohol level to .08 increases the risk of a car crash to 11 times more likely. So having “just one more” could bring devastating consequences.

The more heavily you drink every day, the more likely you will develop alcohol withdrawal symptoms when you stop drinking. Alcohol withdrawal refers to symptoms that may occur when a person who has been drinking too much alcohol every day suddenly stops drinking alcohol.

Alcohol withdrawal usually occurs within 5 – 10 hours of the person’s last drink.  The following is generally considered excessive alcohol use:

  • More than 15 drinks per week for men or 8 drinks per week for women
  • More than 5 drinks per day for men or 4 drinks per day for women
  • Habitual use of alcohol that disrupts a person’s life and routines, regardless of amount consumed

An example of such, is a DUI.  For reinstatement of driving privileges in Tempe, AZ the Arizona Department of Transportation requires an evaluation.  Contact Stonewall Institute at 602-535-6468 to schedule and appointment for a drug evaluation or alcohol evaluation for ADOT Motor Vehicle Division.
