The Memorial Day holiday is nearly upon us. The long weekend is the traditional kickoff to what most everyone hopes will be a long, enjoyable period of summer recreation. But just as Colorado and the other states have laws against driving under the influence, it also has laws against boating
Most people know that if they choose to drive here in Colorado after they have consumed alcohol, they run the risk of getting pulled over by police and may face DUI charges. It’s for this very reason that a lot of people choose to remain sober before driving or wait
A couple of months ago, we wrote a post about blood alcohol tests and how the results of those tests can be successfully challenged by the people who are accused of driving under the influence of alcohol. Well, as many Denver residents have likely heard over the last few days,
