Illinois Underage Drinking is NOT Cool especially when getting Caught

Underage Drinking Statistics

Alcohol use by persons under age 21 years is a major public health problem. Alcohol is the most commonly used and abused drug among youth in the United States, more than tobacco and illicit drugs, and is responsible for more than 4,700 annual deaths among underage youth. Although drinking by persons under the age of 21 is illegal, people aged 12 to 20 years drink 11% of all alcohol consumed in the United States. More than 90% of this alcohol is consumed in the form of binge drinks. On average, underage drinkers consume more drinks per drinking occasion than adult drinkers. In 2010, there were approximately 189,000 emergency rooms visits by persons under age 21 for injuries and other conditions linked to alcohol.

Preventing Classmates from getting a DUI

Here's what you can do to keep your friends from driving drunk. Friends may think that coffee, a cold shower, or fresh air is all they need to sober up. The truth is, only time can get alcohol and drugs out of the system.

1. Talk with your friends. Make it clear that none of them should drink or use drugs. Someone who is using drugs or alcohol must promise not to drive under the influence.
2. Politely but firmly tell the person you cannot let him or her drive home because you care. It will be tough to speak up, but your courage could save your friend's life or that of an innocent victim.
3. Call a cab. Always bring enough cash to pay the cabbie. Don't be reluctant, because a cab fare is trivial compared to what you or your friend would have to pay in the event of a DUI.
4. Call your parents for a ride. Yes, they'll be disappointed in your host and your friend, but they'll get over it.
5. Have your friend sleep over at the party.
6. Take the car keys away. Here are ways to get the keys from a drunk person.
   • Use the girl trick. If you are at a party and you know that a guy who has had too much to drink still has his keys, have one of the girls ask for the keys. The male ego may not be ready to give up the keys to another guy but will rarely refuse a girl.
   • Find the keys while your friend is distracted and take them away. Your friend might think he or she lost them.
7. If it is a close friend, speak to him or her privately and suggest that he or she let someone else drive or take a cab or bus.
8. Refuse to get in the car with a drunk friend who is driving. Tell him or her you will ride with someone else or take a bus or cab.
9. If possible, do not embarrass the person or be confrontational. Speak calmly and softly.
10. Whatever you do, don't give up. About half of drivers under age 30 admit drinking and driving at one time or another. Someone tried to stop about 80% of these people from driving and were successful about 75% of the time. Be patient. You can make a difference.

Stop yourself. Stop a friend. Don't drink and drive.

DUI Defense Lawyer / DWI Defense Attorney

If you've been stopped on a drunk driving, implied consent, or felony DUI charge, It is imperative that you contact one of our campus lawyers immediately. After a DUI arrest there is a limited window of time that can determine many factors about your case. Not doing so could be detrimental to your DUI case and you may miss an opportunity that could possibly result in a better outcome of your case. Our aggressive DUI attorneys have years of experience with all phases of DUI cases. Our criminal defense lawyers can help you as follows: Getting your case dismissed, suppressing the evidence against you, assisting with restrictive licenses or work permits if your license is suspended and any other aspect of your DUI case. A first-offense DUI conviction can results in an automatic suspension of your driver's license. The most promising avenues of defense to prevent you from being convicted include:

• Challenging the arresting officer's probable cause to stop your vehicle
• Attacking the results of a breathalyzer or other blood alcohol content test through forensic analysis and testimony
• Negotiating the reduction of the charges down to careless driving or reckless driving

Your campus lawyer has the experience with drunk-driving cases necessary to advise you of your best defense, thepractical ability to obtain a restrictive license, to defeat the DUI case on the merits, and about the likelihood that a plea agreement can be obtained on favorable terms. Many factors play into your defense. If you refuse the breath test, your chances of defeating the DUI charges might improve (depending on how you did on a videotaped field sobriety test), but the automatic license suspension of one year can be a stiff price to pay for trying to avoid the DUI conviction. We'll work with you through every step of the process to do everything possible to protect your right to drive. Campus Lawyer also represents persons charged with more serious felony DUI offenses. These include DUI serious injury accident cases, DUI manslaughter cases, repeat DUI offenses, and such aggravating circumstances as hit-and-run accidents, or fleeing an officer. Our long experience with the defense of felonies of all kinds represents a distinct advantage for the felony DUI defendant.

DUI's and Students

Why Students?

Students are at particular risk for getting DUIs. Part of this is the fact that most high school and college age students are not always completely responsible in their drinking habits. Another part is that cops harass younger people because the cops know they have an easier time intimidating them, and possibly giving them any sort of ticket.

Another option is that today’s students are less subtle about their substance abuse. It is well known that the legal drinking age of 21 doesn’t stop minors from drinking, and it may be that these current groups of young, student drinkers are simply less skilled at hiding their substance abuse than previous generations.

Whatever the reason, students are receiving more DUIs recently, from Washington to Indiana. This is bad news for students.

Consequences of DUIs

The consequences of getting a DUI can be severe. This is doubly so for students, who generally have much fewer resources than adults to deal with the DUIs.

First off, your license could be suspended. This has major repercussions not only for getting around to buy groceries and go to school, but also for getting and holding down jobs as well. This can ruin professional life.

Second, it goes on their permanent legal record. This will be checked not only by future employers, but also by car insurance companies. Employers will be less likely to hire you, and insurance companies will really jack up their rates for having a DUI. This will cost offenders lots of money over the course of your life.

Of course, if you actually are driving while under the influence there is always the chance that you will crash and kill or maim yourself, or others. This is the brutal truth, and why DUIs are punished so extremely.

Sex Crime Defense in Monmouth, IL.

Sex Crime defense Lawyer

Statutory Rape and Sex Crimes Defense Attorney

Our criminal defense lawyers represent clients charged with sex ranging from rape or sexual battery to lewd and lascivious conduct or online solicitation of a minor. For a free initial consultation with an experienced criminal defense lawyer, contact our office by filling out our contact form or calling 1-800-755-8998 for a confidential consultation.

We'll carefully examine the charges and evidence against you and prepare an aggressive attack on the prosecution's case. When necessary, we can perform an independent investigation or engage forensic experts to challenge either the physical evidence or the psychological condition of the alleged witness - whatever makes best strategic sense under the facts of your particular case.

With over 30 years of criminal trial experience, our attorneys can represent you on such charges as:

• Rape, sexual battery, or capital sexual battery cases where the victim is under 12 years of age
• Date rape, acquaintance rape, spousal rape, and other sex offenses where a consent defense appears likely
• Child sex abuse and molestation charges
• Statutory rape, or consensual sex with a person between 16 and 18 years old

We also represent persons in civil forfeiture proceedings related to solicitation of prostitution, child pornography on home or office computers, or Internet solicitation of a minor.
Often, individuals who have been prosecuted for sex crimes in the past are required to register in the communities in which they live or move to. A common sex crime defense situation we handle involves persons charged with failure to register as sex offenders, or who are accused otherwise of sex offender registry violations.
