Chicago DUI lawyer comments on signs of a DUI driver

Tonight I went to see a movie that is the talk of the town. Afterwards I went with my movie companions to grab a bite. One of my companions nursed a glass of wine and we began talking about DUI arrests. All of a sudden I noticed that her eyes were red and bloodshot. "Oh dear", I said, "whatever you do don't drive home tonight." I told her I was convinced by looking at her that if she was stopped by a police officer she would get charged with a DUI.

The signs of a DUI are pretty much the same in each and every DUI arrest report. There are very few DUI arrest reports that I see that don't describe the accused in the following manner:

Subject had red, bloodshot eyes. Her speech was slurred, mumbled, thick-tongued. She seemed confused and her reflexes were slow. Oh yes, there was a strong odor of alcohol coming from her breath.

My companion said, "but my eyes are always bloodshot and red". I told her I believed her, I just knew that a police officer wouldn't. It's funny how physical attributes and conditions get twisted into drunk driving.
