Today's DWI Headlines

Did You Know?
  • A.A. or AA - Alcoholics Anonymous.
  • Breathalyzer Myths - a common myth is that breath testers can be fooled (to make one's blood alcohol content appear lower) by using certain substances. An episode of the Discovery Channel's MythBusters tested substances usually recommended in this practice -- such as breath mints, mouthwash, and onion -- and found them to be ineffective. Adding an odor to mask the smell of alcohol might fool a person, but does not change the actual alcohol concentration in the body or on the breath.
  • BAC - blood alcohol concentration.
  • Alcohol - a potent drug with a range of side effects. The amount and circumstances of consumption play a large part in determining the extent of intoxication, e.g. consuming alcohol after a heavy meal is less likely to produce visible signs of intoxication than consumption on an empty stomach. Hydration also plays a role, especially in determining the extent of hangovers.
  • Wine - an alcoholic beverage that is made by fermenting grapes or grape juice.
