The Florida Gators are back in action and tailgating is in full force in Gainesville. Celebrating with the Gator Nation and cheering our team to victory is a long-standing tradition. But don’t forget to celebrate responsibly.
On average, it will take a person who weighs approximately 140 lbs, three drinks in one hour, to reach a Blood Alcohol Level of .08, the legal limit in the State of Florida.
Did you know that a Blood alcohol level of .02 will be broken down in approximately one and a half hours, BAC levels of .05 are broken down in three and a half hours, .08 is broken down in five and a half hours and .10 can take up to 6.6 hours to be broken down. Therefore, merely stopping the consumption of alcohol during the football game is not enough, before you get in the car to drive home safely.
Please do not drink and drive, however, if you or someone you know has had the unfortunate experience of being arrested for driving under the influence, please contact the experienced attorneys at Michael P. Maddux, P.A. to assist you in navigating through both the Division of Motor Vehicle System as well as the Criminal Justice System.
Ultimately, Drink Responsibly and GO GATORS!
