It is possible to get a DUI for drinking too much coffee. Every time I repeat this phrase no one believes it, but it�s true. It would be highly unlikely that this would happen to anyone, and if this happens to you I would suggest you start playing the lottery.
How could someone get a DUI for drinking too much coffee? Let me break this down for you. If you admit to have been driving in an impaired manner due to a chemical or through chemical testing you have been found intoxicated, you can be convicted of a DUI. For example, if you are driving erratically because you had too much caffeine and a police officer pulls you over and your excuse is, �I have had to much caffeine�, you have just admitted to driving under the influence.
Any chemical stimulant or depressant you ingest prior to driving (or while you are driving) are all grounds for receiving a DUI. It doesn�t matter if is a illegal narcotic or not, anything that can make you drive unsafe, erratic, or unaware are grounds for a DUI.
What are the blood volume limits for other chemicals?
As far as we know, there are no other �scales� to measure other chemical amounts in the blood stream that states use determine if someone is safely under the limit of another stimulant or depressant. The point is; you should drive safely at all times. Always read the warnings on your medication whether it was purchased at a store or if it was a prescription. If you feel tired or �woozy� do whatever it takes to avoid driving yourself.
