Reminder: Alcohol Can Stay in Your System Longer Than You Think

Even after a night of drinking, alcohol can remain in your system and impair your ability to drive the next morning. The effects of alcohol can last long after your last drink, impacting your reaction times, judgment, and coordination. If you plan to drive the next morning, be aware that you could still be over the legal limit for impaired driving. Don’t take the risk-always wait until you’re completely sober before getting behind the wheel.
