You could get jailed You will lose your driver’s license You may face a lawsuit from the other party involved You will be charged with DUI You will have to pay fines and fees

  3. Some states have more serious laws when it comes to DUI, and want to encourage drivers to take a cab after a night of drinking. In Utah, every motorist who is pulled over and has any amount of alcohol in their blood will be charged with DUI. The limit of alcohol in the blood is 0.05%, and any amount above that is punishable by the law.

  4. One-Third Of All Accidents According to the statistics (provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), around 35 percent of all car accidents are related to DUI. Driving with a high level of alcohol in your blood gives you a sense of “false control”, allowing you to think that you are in control of your vehicle when you are not. Your senses are reduced to a minimum, your eyes almost-closed and your focus is non-existent. While driving in such condition, the chances are that you will either hit a rail or collide with another vehicle. In both cases, someone will get injured (Whether you or your passengers or another party) or even die as a result of an accident.

  5. Driving with any amount of alcohol in your blood surpassing 0.05% is against the law and considered illegal. If you are pulled over with alcohol in your blood, you will face serious charges.
