Wisconsin especially has adopted a policy that completely prohibits underage drinking and operating motor vehicles. The state’s program features the slogan “Not One Drop” and highlights the strong stance that the state takes toward minors driving under the influence.

As the name suggests, Wisconsin has a zero-tolerance policy for minors operating vehicles under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Statute 346.63 (2M) in Wisconsin states that persons who have not yet reached a legal drinking age cannot operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.0%. If a minor is caught driving with a BAC over the limit, he or she will be subject to an immediate three-month suspension of driving privileges and may face additional charges for violating the state’s drinking laws.

Wisconsin also stipulates that individuals who refuse to submit to a breathalyzer test will face license revocation for a period of one year. Such penalties are designed to persuade individuals to submit to BAC testing immediately upon apprehension and can assist the case in the event it ever goes to criminal court.

Most drinking-law violations in Wisconsin require the individual to go to court, regardless of the plea. Some individuals may be allowed to take alcohol-awareness classes in lieu of the three-month license suspension. Persons who choose not to participate in alcohol education are typically forced to take the suspension and any other judgments handed down by the court.

Because the state places so much importance on it’s drinking laws, minors in the state should be aware of the punishments for violating such provisions. It is especially important to know that minors suspected of driving under the influence may be subject to harsher punishment in Wisconsin than in other states. Fortunately, such hard-line stances help to discourage minors from making decisions that may cause harm to themselves and others.

The name Milwaukee is derived from ‘Milliocki’ which means, gathering place by water. The city was also referred to as the ‘Cream City’, due to the yellowish hued bricks produced by the brick pioneers. The early brick makers who were disappointed by the looks of the brick soon found its color a blessing in disguise, because of its high demand among people of other cities. These bricks are still high in demand but are no more manufactured but recycled.
