Facts
- Women have less water in their bodies than men, so after a man and woman of the same weight drink the same amount of alcohol, the woman's blood alcohol concentration will most likely be higher.
- Opiates such as heroin convert to morphine in the body which then activates opiate receptors located throughout the brain and central nervous system, including within the reward system.
- Most pregnant women completely eliminate their alcohol use, although most of their husbands continue drinking.
- Mixing prescription drugs with alcohol may lead to respiratory depression, coma, and death.
DUI/DWI Offenders - West Point, CaliforniaDrinking and driving, or driving while under the influence are severe offenses not to be taken lightly. While each state has its own way of handling 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 time in jail for their offense. Once this is completed they will likely have further retribution to do in order to drive a vehicle again. Many states require the person to undergo counseling and/or therapy to help in their recovery process. Typically these counseling sessions are held in a group setting by either an addiction recovery professional or a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. The state will determine a set number of therapy hours that the DUI/DWI offender will need to attend.
