DUI Lawyers Attorneys Myths and Misconceptions

Not really. Drinking a lot of coffee after drinking too much alcohol may, however, increase your discomfort through the need to use the bathroom while being transported to the jail on DUI or DWI charges. Only time reverses impairment.

Eating mints will not affect your BAC level since it isn't the smell of your breath, but the alcohol content, that's measured. Using breath mints, however, may earn you points with the arresting officer if you normally have bad breath.

The police are not really fooled when they see a combination of erratic driving behavior and powerfully minty breath.

The only relation we've seen between what you eat before drinking and your drunkenness is that the more you drink, the more likely we are to find what you ate on your shirt, or on the floorboard of the patrol car.

How much you have eaten, and how recently, may have a small effect on how quickly or slowly the alcohol you consume will enter your bloodstream, but it won't stop the alcohol from entering. If you drink too much, you will become intoxicated.

Splash away! And by all means, take a cold shower. It may make you cleaner, but it won't sober you up or make you a safe driver.

Exercise won't sober you up any faster and running around anywhere isn't any safer than driving while impaired.

Party-goers, beware. Fruit juices have the ability to mask the taste of alcohol. A fruit "punch" can contain a substantial amount of alcohol without the taste of the alcohol being noticed — but it will make you just as drunk as alcohol you can taste in another kind of drink. A mild-tasting cup of punch at a party may contain more alcohol than any normal drink you would buy at a bar. Calculate YOUR breath alcohol content.

Nothing sobers up a drinker better than time. If you're out with someone who needs time, get their car keys!

If you or a friend find yourselves facing a DUI or DWI, call an experienced lawyer who will fight for you, and do it soon. Time really does matter with alcohol related offenses.
