Extensive List of DUI Penalties       

     Visit the Florida DHSMV website for an
     extensive list of the penalties imposed
     for a DUI charge. 

               Facts About Getting Sober           
    
     Time: The Only Way To Get 
     Sober
     Coffee, cold showers, water 
     or foods are all myths that don't work.
     
     Getting Sober Takes A Lot  
     Longer Than Most People
     Think     
     Alcohol is eliminated from the body
     at the rate of .015 per hour. An 
     average night of drinking can easily
     produce an alcohol level of .150. At that
     level, it will take 10 hours to
     completely eliminate all of the alcohol.
 
    Food Slows The Rate Of
     Absorption 
     Alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream
     at a slower rate when food is present in
     the stomach. It will take a little longer
     for a person to feel the effects of the
     alcohol. However, eating or drinking
     water has no affect on the amount of
     alcohol that is ingested.

     Women Absorb Alcohol Faster,
     Eliminate It Slower
     Women absorb alcohol at a faster rate
     than men because their bodies contain 
     less water.

     Women also eliminate alcohol at a
     slower rate than men. The enzyme that 
     is responsible for breaking down alcohol
     is produced at a slower rate in women's
     bodies.

     In general, a woman's alcohol level  
     will be higher than a man's even if  
     she has consumed the same amount 
     of alcohol.
