DROWSY DRIVING VS. DRUNK DRIVING: HOW SIMILAR ARE THEY?

DROWSY DRIVING VS. DRUNK DRIVING: HOW SIMILAR ARE THEY?

"Drowsy driving is dangerous because sleep deprivation can have similar effects on your body as drinking alcohol. Being awake for 18 hours straight makes you drive like you have a blood alcohol level of .05 (for reference, .08 is considered drunk). If you’ve been awake for a full 24 hours and drive—say, after a night where you just couldn’t fall asleep—it’s like you have a blood alcohol level of .10."
