DUI Xanax Georgia
 |
|---|
Xanax is the brand name for alprazolam, which is in the benzodiazepines drug group. This medication is available by prescription only, and is classified as a Schedule 4 drug because of some potential for abuse. It is often prescribed by doctors to treat panic disorders, anxiety disorders, and anxiety caused by depression.
When people who take Xanax consume alcohol, they may become more intoxicated than normal. One drink can lead to the type of impairment typically associated with two or more drinks. This impairment can affect your driving abilities, resulting in a DUI. Even if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is below Georgia’s legal limit, you may still be arrested for drunk driving.
Xanax is often sold on the street without a prescription. If you are arrested for DUI and caught with it illegally obtained, you could also face separate drug possession charges.
The penalties for a this type of charge could include community service, fines, court costs, probation, and even jail time. Your license will be suspended, and you can expect your insurance company to substantially raise your premiums. You will also have to go through life with a criminal record that has the potential to affect employment and educational opportunities.
