Alcohol Absorption and Your DUI Defense in Panama City, FL

Panama City DUI Attorney

You may have been arrested and charged with DUI, and you could even be facing a felony DUI charge if an accident occurred with injury or death. It is vital that you contact Shepard Law at once if you are accused of any DUI offense, as our Panama City DUI defense lawyer should review the facts in your case, particularly with regard to alcohol absorption, and the details about when were stopped and the timeline involved in testing.

As the peak alcohol levels occur after a person has stopped drinking, the facts surrounding what you actually consumed, when you were operating your vehicle, when you were tested for BAC all could come into play in your defense case.

After an arrest, you may have been tested before you reached the peak absorption of alcohol. There are several factors that impact how the body will absorb alcohol including your weight, your gender, and whether you consumed food while you were drinking, and the strength of the alcoholic beverages you consumed. It takes almost an hour, on average, for the body to absorb alcohol, and in some cases far longer.
