Explanation
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is both dangerous and illegal. Even at low BAC levels, alcohol affects your judgment, coordination, and reaction time-key abilities needed for safe driving. Many people wrongly believe that staying under the legal limit or waiting an hour after drinking makes it safe to drive, but even small amounts of alcohol can impair your driving ability and increase crash risk. Always choose a sober ride instead.
