AAA warns of dangers of driving hungover ahead of New Years

AAA is warning people of the dangers of driving hungover.
Many people decide to have alcohol during New Year's Eve and while driving under the influence is usually focused on, driving hungover has its own dangers.
"Driving hungover can be just as dangerous as driving after having a few drinks," said Lori Cook, safety advisor, AAA East Central. "After a night of drinking, many people will wake up with alcohol still in their blood, or they will wake up tired and disoriented."
According to the AAA DUI Justice Link, only time can help someone sober up. They say it takes between 75 and 90 minutes for one standard-sized alcoholic drink to leave their system.
Hangover symptoms can last for more than 24 hours and can include fatigue and weakness, dehydration, anxiety, sensitivity to light and sound, and vertigo among others.
"We wouldn't advise that anybody drives with any of these symptoms, regardless of whether they are recovering from a night of celebrating or not," said Cook.
