Facts
- Methamphetamine overdose can result in hypothermia and convulsions, which if not treated may be life threatening.
- The kidneys and lungs remove about 10% of the alcohol in the urine and breath, making the breathalyzer test a valid tool to measure a person's blood alcohol level.
- When an individual stops consuming alcohol, alcohol level in their body can actually continue to increase. No amount of coffee, cold baths, showers, or trying to walk it off will stop this process.
- Over 75% of eighth graders, 83% of tenth graders, and 73% of high school seniors in the U.S. surveyed in 2008 reported that using heroin occasionally without a needle was a great risk.

Drinking and driving, or driving while under the influence are severe offenses not to be taken lightly. While each state has its own way of dealing with DUI/DWI offenders, there are some generalities that can be expected. Depending on the level of the driver's intoxication and how stringent the state laws are, they may have to serve a jail sentence for their offense. Once this is completed they will most likely have additional retribution to do in order to drive a vehicle again. Many states require the person to undergo counseling and/or therapy to aid in their recovery process. Typically these counseling sessions are held in a group setting by either a substance abuse counselor or a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. The state will require a set number of counseling hours that the DUI/DWI offender will need to attend.
