In
2003, there were 17,013 alcohol related automobile
deaths in the United States. Do not become a statistic.
In
the past several years, convictions for alcohol-related offenses, especially
driving offenses, have had serious negative impact on the ability of recent
graduates to get the jobs they want.
Many students convicted of driving while intoxicated have had to settle for
lower salaries at less prestigious companies.
Conviction records for misdemeanors and infractions also may influence one's
ability to be bonded or to enter a licensed profession.
Admission to graduate or professional school may also be affected.
