Drugs and Alcohol 药物与酒精
Using drugs or alcohol before you drive affects how well you drive. You may not be able to react in time to avoid a crash. Even drugs that your doctor tells you to take can affect how well you drive. 在驾驶前使用药物或酒精会影响驾驶能力,可能无法及时反应避免事故。即使是医生开具的药物,也可能影响驾驶。
When the alcohol level in your blood reaches 0.08%, you are drunk. When you are drunk, it is not legal for you to drive. It is also illegal to drive if you have had enough alcohol to make it hard for you to drive, even if the alcohol level in your blood is under 0.08%. If you are under age 21, you cannot consume or possess alcohol. 当血液中的酒精含量达到0.08%时,即为醉酒。醉酒驾驶违法,即使血液酒精含量低于0.08%但影响驾驶,也不允许驾驶。未满21岁者不得饮酒或持有酒精饮品。
It is not legal to drive if you have an open can, bottle, or other container of alcohol in your car. 车内有未封口的酒精饮料(罐装、瓶装或其他容器)时驾驶违法。

Nothing can be done to lessen the effect of alcohol once it has entered your bloodstream. 注意空腹饮酒时影响最明显。酒精作用也取决于血液中的含量,进入血液后无法减轻其影响。
