Bow, wow. On September 7, I will get to watch my first game between the Hawkeyes and Cyclones. It sounds like sometimes people drink too much before, during and after the game and then make the bad decision to drive a vehicle.

While our attorneys do not do criminal law cases, please remember there are many reasons that you should not drink and drive. If your BAC (blood alcohol content) is more than .08 you are looking at losing your driver’s license for 6 months or longer, 2 or more days in jail, thousands of dollars in fines and a huge increase in your car insurance rates. Even worse, if you were to get into an accident and cause someone to be injured or die you would be looking at 10 to 25 years in prison.

On a brighter note, we want to hear from you about which of the football jerseys you like the best. Our office will donate $500 to the Animal Shelter for the winning city (Ames or Iowa City) and $250 to the runner-up.
