If you see someone who’s had enough, tell your host. They may be so busy with other chores that they haven’t noticed — particularly if that person is getting ready to leave.
• If you’ve had too much to drink, admit it. Call a cab, or ask your host to call one for you. Ask if you can stay for a few hours. It may sound like an imposition, but it’s actually more “adult” and responsible to realize you need help than to deny it.
Last but not least, the Virginia State Police and the Virginia Alcohol Safety Awareness Program (VASAP) remind drivers that, on average, consuming more than two drinks per hour will boost your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) above the . 10 level at which it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle in Virginia.
And, whether your drink of choice is one beer, a fiveounce glass of wine or one ounce of hard liquor, the concentration of alcohol is the same. Once the alcohol is in your system, it will take the same amount of time to get out: one hour for every two drinks.
And the State Police offer one more reminder. Although . 10 is the legal limit at which a motorist is presumed to be Driving While Intoxicated (DUI), impairment often begins at lower B ACs. The actual level depends on each individual’s weight, health, tolerance for alcohol and other factors — even how tired they are. If a motorist registers a BAC of between .05 and .10, they can still be convicted of DUI if the officer testifies in court that the driver exhibited signs of impairment. *
