Do Not Rain On Your Parade This Summer By Getting a DUI in Georgia

Posted by Richard Lawson | Apr 25, 2017 | 0 Comments

With summer approaching and school coming to an end, this is a good time to remember to use common sense when having a good time.

Remember, the Georgia State Patrol and local law enforcement increase their patrols during the summertime.  With increased enforcement comes a greater chance someone will be charged with a DUI. 

With ride-sharing services becoming more and more popular, along with the traditionally used designated driver, there is no reason anyone should be charged with a DUI in Georgia.  

Tips For Responsible Use of Alcohol:

  • Choose a reliable designated driver
  • Use public transportation
  • Call a ride-sharing service
  • Give up your keys if you are tempted to drive
  • Stop drinking alcoholic beverages early to give yourself time to sober up
  • Drink plenty of water
  • Consume food while drinking
  • Ask someone to an accountability partner to let you know if you appear to be under the influence. 
  • Arrange for overnight accommodations when you plan to drink
  • Make sure that guests in your home make good choices, and offer people a place to stay while sobering up.
