Alabama troopers, deputies look out for alcohol abuse DUIs

Alabama State Troopers have joined forces with sheriff's offices and municipal police departments statewide to target drivers who are under the influence of alcohol.

Through Sunday, in the first days of a campaign running through Labor Day, troopers in the Birmingham, Alabama area wrote 485 tickets and made 10 DUI arrests, said Cpl. Steve Smith. The effort is part of a national DUI crackdown sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration called "Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest."

In 2008, 33 percent of traffic fatalities in Alabama -- 319 deaths -- involved alcohol and alcohol abuse, according to the Alabama Department of Community and Economic Affairs.

Smith said Alabama troopers will be out in force on roads where they have found large numbers of arrests and crashes fueled by driving under the influence of alcohol.

Task Force Zero, a unit of Alabama State Troopers that specializes in DUI detection, will roam the roads from 11 p.m. until 2 a.m. -- the peak period for alcohol abuse and DUIs.

"Basically, it's the time people should be at home in bed, but instead are out at parties or clubs," Smith said.

DUIs aren't the only traffic offenses Alabama troopers will be looking for, Smith said.

In areas where large numbers of crashes have been attributed to excessive speed, Alabama troopers will be armed with lidar guns -- lidar is an acronym for light detection and ranging -- that allow them to pinpoint a vehicle's speed without the waves picking up another vehicle.

Smith said Alabama troopers will also be on patrol in areas that have had a large number of wrecks caused by overly aggressive driving.

In the Birmingham, Alabama area, one of the first spots troopers staked out was Alabama 160 in Blount County, a stretch of road that has drawn attention for several wrecks, including a 2007 crash that killed three Hayden High School cheerleaders.

"We've looked for places that have had the most accidents, and that's where we're going to be," Smith said.

Quick Drug Facts

What is tolerance? Tolerance is the adaptation of the body to the effects of alcohol (or another drug). This means that a person must drink more and more alcohol to produce the same effects as the first time they drank. Not everyone becomes tolerant to alcohol, but when it occurs it can be significant. For example, some heavy drinkers consume over a quart of spirits per day.
"Muscatel" means "wine with flies in it" in Italian.
Vermont is considering lowering the minimum legal drinking age to 18. The governor "agrees that if 18 is the age at which all citizens are bestowed full rights and privileges of American citizenship it ought to be the legal drinking age." However, the federal government threatens to deny the state nearly $10 million dollars annually if it grants its adults the right to drink alcoholic beverages.
The younger you are when you start drinking, the greater your chance of becoming addicted to alcohol at some point in your life. More than 4 in 10 people who begin drinking before age 15 eventually become alcoholics.
