There are many common medications that are prescribed or purchased over the counter that warn users to avoid combining the drug with alcohol. A recent client of mine was arrested and charged with drunk driving. The client’s BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) was a very high level of .24! I spent a great deal of time interviewing this young man and determined that the BAC number was too high for the amount of alcohol he drank and the time period involved. With a little research and good notes from the interview I was able to determine that the culprit was a common antibiotic that “dumps” alcohol into the blood stream at a significantly advanced rate. Armed with the facts and the peer reviewed science I was able to obtain a very satisfying result for my client. Conducting careful interviews and being abreast of the science and the law are key components of getting results. |
