Spring Break Binge Drinking Lead to Late Night Accidents

tampa auto accident lawyersSpring Break is a time for parties, and most parties involve drinking. However, when teens and other party-goers drink too much and then attempt to drive home, they can end up having accidents on the road. Drinking any amount of alcohol can significantly impair your reflexes and ability to operate a motor vehicle, and even if you didn’t drink that night, a day of binge drinking during the day time and then trying to drive late at night can still find you significantly impaired on the road. Alcohol builds up in the system and can actually make it so that late night drivers who drank earlier in the day are more drunk  than they were when they first consumed the alcoholic beverages.
