Drink or drive but not both!

You drink and drive are you completely INSANE? Drinking while intoxicated is an accident waiting to happen. You not only put yourself in danger but everyone else as well. You drive better when you're drunk?  Really,  because most people can't even speak cohesively let alone drive well. You don't look cool and no your friends will not like you more if you drive drunk. Sure they might say that it's cool, and that they will like you more if you drive drunk. But are they and their families going to like you anymore when you crash and everyone is in the hospital severely hurt or worse dead? No. Drinking and driving are too things that should and will NEVER go together. When you drive it's your responsibility to be at your best. Other motorists have blind faith in you. When and if you drink and drive, you are not only putting yourself in harms way but also innocent individuals, that have nothing to do with your poor judgment. If your going to drink then call a cab or have someone call one for you,or have a designated driver. Please don't put your life in danger and others as well just to have a few moments of a good time. Make smart decisions and not poor ones that last a lifetime. Don't drink and drive ever! Be safe! Below are some statistics to give you an understanding on how severe drinking and driving is.

  1. “Drinking while intoxicated is an accident waiting to happen.” - If your alcohol concentration is 0.15 or higher, your probability of getting into an accident is about 25 times higher. So, the more alcohol you take, the more likely you’ll be in an accident. DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE if you don’t want to get arrested because of DUI or DWI! +Grayson Ford
