Is it true that a single shot of whiskey or a glass of wine can affect one's judgement and attitude?

Question

What level alcohol consumed is in DUI? How many people get killed or maimed every year in the US as the result of DUI?

Answer 1

Really, the tolerance level of each person is different, though government sets what appears to be a standard that will place the most impaired into custody.

Answer 2

Alcohol is a toxic substance. Any toxic substance will affect ones judgment and can cause serious harm. However, alcohol, in small doses, will not affect the body seriously. In fact, it can he useful to a person's health, in small doses. My father was required to take a shot of whiskey each day to control problems with his blood.

In regards to automobile accidents, the statisticians say that at least 1/2 of traffic accidents and deaths are caused by DUIs.

Each state has its own laws regarding alcohol consumed to qualify for a DUI.

Answer 3

Yes! Most definitely. In most states .08 on the Breathalyzer is DUI. Between 15-20 thousand people are killed annually in car accidents involving alcohol. For my money, these people are murderers because they have irresponsibly used a lethal weapon.

Answer 4

Yes, a single shot or a glass of wine can impair one's reaction time and physical coordination as well as one's judgment. The BAC varies from state to state, but generally you're in big trouble when you blow a 0.8 on the breathalyzer...approximately 45,000 people a year are injured in accidents in which alcohol consumption is a factor...that's in the USA. I can't speak to other countries' experience with this question.
