Sometimes, it’s easy to think that you can operate a car after throwing back a few.
But it’s not. And that’s what one woman found out this 4th of July:
The 38 year old mother in a car crash at 48th and Kessler Thursday admitted to police she had been drinking.
She said “a few beers” at 6:40 a.m. with her three kids in the car…
First of all, 6:40AM is mighty early for a few beers.
Second of all, here are the stats on drinking and driving:
According to California State University if you are a woman weighing 120 pounds it takes just two drinks in an hour to put you legally drunk .08 in Indiana.
For a man at 180 pounds it is 3-4 drinks.
And it takes at least an hour to sober up per drink.
So no matter the holiday, if you’re going to go out and have a few, be mindful and don’t drive.
That’s real Drink Progress.
