Prescription drugs are more prevalent than ever; these drugs can be commonly prescribed for a plethora of ailments, syndromes, and disorders: insomnia, depression, anxiety disorders, pain, etc. Also, increasingly prevalent in today’s culture is the use of recreational drugs.
With the rise in the amount of prescribed drugs in our society, coincidentally, DUIs involving prescription narcotics are also on the rise – despite the fact these prescriptions explicitly state ‘do not drive or operate machinery while taking medication’, people still do. Thus, driving while under the influence may be a DUI without having consumed any alcohol.
