While drunk driving is often the focus of most anti-drinking campaigns, biking while drinking can also be dangerous. Some studies have suggested the drunk bikers account for one in five biking deaths each year.

Drunk bikers pose a risk not only to themselves but to others. For instance, drunk bikers are more likely to hit pedestrians and other cars.

When individuals are convicted of drunk driving-related charge, they may receive a license suspension. When this occurs, many individuals do not try to contest the suspension. 

However, in most cases, individuals have the legal right to contest the suspension. In order to do, they must request a hearing with the Department of Public Safety. During this hearing, individuals have the opportunity to challenge the  suspension and offer arguments in favor of their cause. 

If you or anyone you know has received a license suspension, contact the Las Vegas DUI lawyers of Palmer & Associates, P.C., at 702-888-2222.

A drunk driving conviction can result in jail time, fines, and license suspension. However, even after the time is served, the fine is paid, and the license is reinstated, a drunk driving conviction can still plague a person's livelihood. 

Oftentimes the offense will stay on a driver's record forever, or at least until it is expunged. This means that the conviction will be available to employers, credit bureaus, and government agencies.

Whenever people are arrested for drunk driving, they generally go to court and may face sentencing. If the person is convicted of drunk driving, the crime is often classified as a misdemeanor. 

However, if an injury or death is involved in the accident, the crime may be a felony and could result in significant jail time. In order to avoid such a conviction, a lawyer may try to challenge the charge in court in a number of ways.

Alcohol affects the body by altering brain chemistry. The brain is altered by a series of neurotransmitters, which act as chemical messengers that deliver signals throughout the body. 

These signals trigger changes in a person's behavior and emotion, two signs that people typically associate with drunkenness. As opposed to stimulants like caffeine, alcohol triggers transmitters that cause the body to become sluggish. 

Many people are surprised to learn that alcohol is a depressant for the body because of the positive feelings they sometimes associate with alcohol. These positive feelings, however, are likely the result of an increased level of dopamine.

One common myth about alcohol is that mixing alcohol with other beverages will decrease its impact on the body. The belief is based on many misconceptions, including that other liquids help break down alcohol in the body. 

While other liquids may have some effects on the alcohol, the effect will likely be insignificant. What ultimately matters is the alcohol content in the drink.

For instance, a person who drinks a 1.5-ounce shot will likely feel the same effect as drinking a mixed drink with 1.5 ounces of the same alcohol. Differences in effect may result, however, from how quickly each drink is consumed.

When people drink excessive amounts of alcohol in a short period of time, one of the common dangers is alcohol poisoning. Determining whether someone has alcohol poisoning, however, can be difficult.

People with alocohol poisoning typically show a number of signs, including vomiting, confusion, coldness, or unconsciousness. These signs are also common among people who are simply drunk. Regardless, if someone begins to show these signs, then the best precaution is to call a medical official for treatment.

People who experience alcohol poisoning and attempt to drive have a higher chance of being charged with DUI. If you have been charged with a drunk driving crime, contact the Las Vegas DUI lawyers of William Palmer & Associates, P.C., at 702-888-2222.
