The Truth About Drinking and Driving (with my Mom)

July 29, 2024

Meet Suzanne

Suzanne is the host of the popular sobriety podcast, The Sober Mom Life, and is also a sobriety and lifestyle influencer at My Kind of Sweet. Suzanne quit drinking more than 4 years ago and has found freedom from moderation, a message she proudly shares with the world. When she's not glamorizing sobriety, Suzanne enjoys spending her time with her 3 kids, her husband, and her dog, Georgia, all while reheating her coffee, until she eventually forgets it in the microwave.

My mom Susan is back on the show to talk about an extremely important yet underrepresented topic – drinking and driving. In addition to being a therapist, Susan is an Intoxicated Driver Program Assessor, and in this role she has listened to people talk about the fallout of drinking driving for over two decades.  

The legal and safety repercussions of DUIs, DWIs, or OWIs can be intense. One of the scariest parts, in my opinion, is that very few of us actually understand the details of how quickly alcohol can affect our safety behind the wheel. So, today we’re going to shed light on the facts. 

You’ll learn what ‘blood alcohol level’ truly means, how safe (or unsafe) it is to drive below the legal intoxication limit of .08, and symptoms you’ll experience at different blood alcohol levels.
