Just to be clear, and emphasize how drunk this man was, the level of surgical anesthesia is .35. Loss of consciousness is likely with a BAC of that level (McDonald, James) . He was lucky he was not in a coma or dead before the officers showed up. The jury was told that in accordance with Montana Code Ann. Section(s) 45-2-203, Egelhoff’s level of intoxication could not be considered when determining his mental state at the time of the…
Summary: Jim, who lives in Detroit Michigan, had a few drinks at a local bar but was not intoxicated. Before he left he asked the bartender for a drink of water, who in error gave him a 6oz cup of 40% Vodka. Jim drank it quickly noticing the strength of the liquid but figured it was his imagination as he had requested water. The Vodka went straight to his head and he became intoxicated, causing him to lose control of his car which jumped a curb and killed two people. Jim was arrested and put on trial under Michigan’s “causing death while operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated” statute which carries a 15 year prison sentence.…

In the WA Court of Appeal a retrospective test has been adopted in order to establish causation. This test is called the “Operating or Substantial Cause Test”. I advise the prosecution to ask him/herself, was the accused’s act an operating or substantial cause of the damage. I advise the prosecution to argue that the substantial cause of death would be the push. Despite Hiro’s intoxication, the prosecution should argue that a normal person would still have suffered the same injuries.…

Ironically after the drunk driver’s life was saved, he relentlessly endangers people’s lives. According to Dillard, the drunk driver doesn’t realize his life- threatening mistake and would most likely cause the same incident again because after he discharges himself from a hospital against medical advice he gets a drink. It is subtly known throughout the article that the drunk man is an alcoholic especially when Dillard…
Both of these stories had alcohol as the cause of the problem. Alcohol was the main reason both of these accidents happened and if alcohol wasn’t related to these incidents, none of this would have happened. Crashes and incidents happen a lot with people when they are intoxicated, as you see it happen to Brenton and Peter. Brenton thought that he could make a short trip to see a friend but having too much to drink, it was always a very risky act. People need to stop and think about what they’re doing before they do it but that’s the problem being drunk because you don’t know what you’re doing and don’t listen to other people.…
Advertisements can be found all over the city no matter where you look. They can be presented by television commercials, print ads on billboards, Internet websites, and even the radio. The reasoning behind these ads is to persuade and argue why their product is more important than others. Sometimes these arguments can be used to persuade certain ideas that people think are right or wrong, and cause an argument socially, politically, or even religiously. Imagine this, it’s 1 a.m. and rearing to the end of the night with you and your friends.…
Nathanael Price Mrs. Jackson Writing 25 Sept. 2015 Drinking Ages The second ranked most watched sport in the United States was started thanks to young bootleggers carrying illegal moonshine. Yes, NASCAR was born from families like the Hatfield and McCoy’s to the Dukes of Hazard, who modified their carts or cars to outwit and outrun the police. In most states the legal purchasing/drinking age in the US has been twenty-one ever since the ratification of the twenty-first amendment. The legal drinking age should be lowered to eighteen, because in today’s culture when one turns eighteen kids are expected to be adults.…
One informal survey of alcohol-related deaths among college students during 1997 turned up 11 more fatalities: Three students fell from dormitory windows, one darted into the path of a motorcycle, one fell through a greenhouse roof, another was asphyxiated, and five died in highway crashes. At Frostburg State University, seven students were charged with manslaughter in 1997 in connection with the death of a freshman who guzzled beer and 12 to 14 shots of vodka in two hours at a fraternity party” (Smith). A mistake made several times should not be considered as a mistake but as an ignorance. We have not learned yet from the…
Alcohol impairment is the primary factor in traffic fatalities. In the United States, where drunk driving is among the most common types of arrest made by police, the number of alcohol-related crash deaths is roughly the same as the number of homicides. In addition, vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death in young people ages 15 to 20; many of these are alcohol-related”(Center for Problem). Not all of the accidents are tied into drinking and driving, some of the traffic accidents that have caused death in the past, mainly for teenagers, were speed racing, speeding, hit-and-run crashes, aggressive driving, or even driving with a revoked or suspended license. Here are some examples of what harm drinking and drinking could cause, anything from car crashes too getting a very pricey ticket: “drivers, passengers, and pedestrians are killed and injured.…
