AAA warns of dangers posed by hungover driving
Driving hungover can be just as dangerous as driving after having a few drinks, according to AAA.

Driving hungover can be just as dangerous as driving after having a few drinks, according to AAA.
"After a night of drinking, many people will wake up with alcohol still in their blood, or they will wake up tired and disoriented," said Theresa Podguski, director of legislative affairs for AAA East Central.
According to the AAA DUI Justice Link, a resource to help reduce impaired driving, the only thing that will sober somebody up is time.
It takes between 75-90 minutes or longer for the body to eliminate the alcohol contained in one standard-sized drink.
"It takes much longer for the body to eliminate alcohol than most people think," continued Podguski. "That is why it's important to not only arrange safe transportation the night of a party but also the morning after."
According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms of a hangover typically begin when your blood alcohol drops significantly and is at or near zero.
Those symptoms can prove to be dangerous to anybody behind the wheel, and can include:
Fatigue and weakness
Headaches and muscle aches
Nausea, vomiting or stomach pain
Poor or decreased sleep
Increased sensitivity to light and sound
Dizziness or a sense of the room spinning
Shakiness
Decreased ability to concentrate
"We wouldn't advise that anybody drives with any of these symptoms, regardless of whether they are recovering from a night of drinking or not," continued Podguski.
