There are good reasons for these laws and penalties. Alcohol consumption impairs a driver’s reaction time, visual acuity, motor control, and decision making. Drunk drivers are more prone than other drivers to speed and to depart the roadway. And in a cruel twist of fate and physiology, drunk drivers often survive accidents in which sober victims do not.

In addition to criminal penalties, drunk drivers face potential legal liability for damages caused by an accident. In many, but not all, accidents involving alcohol use, the driver who had been drinking has “fault” for the injuries and losses his actions cause. Under the law, owners of establishments that serve “visibly intoxicated” patrons may also face liability for injuries those patrons cause as drunk drivers, so is important if you’re not responsible for an accident, to use  car accident lawyers to help you build a legal defense if you are in an accident.
It bears noting, too, that alcohol is just one of the substances that can impair a driver. Legal and illegal drugs can also have negative effects on a driver’s ability to control a vehicle. Driving while “high” or otherwise impaired by any type of drug is both unlawful and extremely dangerous.
