Remembering the legal limit during Halloween

There are times when the chances of someone driving drunk may be higher, such as special occasions and holidays. With Halloween coming soon, some drivers will be pulled over and charged with driving under the influence. There are a number of things to keep in mind with respect to DUI charges and Halloween. For starters, it is a good idea to be mindful of how much you drink and avoid getting behind the wheel if your blood alcohol content level surpasses the legal limit.

Drunk driving during Halloween can be tricky because some people have a mixed drink or two at a friend’s house or family function. Knowing the alcohol content in these drinks can be tough and some people may get in their car after having a couple of drinks without knowing they are over the legal limit. When someone is pulled over for DUI, it can do far more than ruin their Halloween celebrations. Unfortunately, these charges can result in time behind bars, the loss of driving privileges and career problems, to name a few consequences.

If you plan to drink at a party, you should find a designated driver. Moreover, you should be aware of the legal limit and never get behind the wheel if you think that you may be legally intoxicated. Even if you do not feel drunk, your BAC level could be over the legal limit. Moreover, if you are charged with DUI, it is essential to approach your case very carefully and recognize how much may be at stake.
