For as far back as people have been driving there have been problems with drinking and driving. Some people feel that if they only have a couple of drinks that they are perfectly fine to drive but this is not true. You should never get behind the wheel of a vehicle if you have had anything to drink.
There are so many things that could go wrong if you drive drunk. Of course you could end up in jail and with a hefty fine for driving while intoxicated but what about the innocent people you are putting in danger. Getting a DUI is probably the best scenario because the other scenarios end with someone losing a life.
When you drink and drive you are risking everything. You could end up wrecking and killing yourself or someone else. If you have a wreck while intoxicated and it results in someone's death you could spend time in jail. If you take a life while driving drunk you can and probably will be charged with man slaughter.
Having to live with the fact that someone is dead because of the choices you made is not something anyone wants. There is nothing wrong with going out and having a few drinks as long as you have a plan for getting home. If you know you are going to be drinking then plan to have a designated driver or take a taxi home.
There is no reason to do drunk driving when a taxi will take you home for just a few dollars. That few dollars you spend on a taxi cab could save your life and someone else's. Do not make the mistake of thinking that you can drive after having only a few drinks. You have probably heard someone say that they can actually drive better after having a few drinks but this is the alcohol talking.
No one can drive better when they are impaired. If you are out with friends and everyone is drinking be responsible and suggest that everyone take a cab or call a sober friend. When a group of friends are drinking together and it is time to leave the smart thing is not to ask who is sober enough to drive but to ask what is the number to the taxi cab company.
After having a few drinks it can be hard to make the right decision that is why planning before hand is important. If you are going to a bar for a few drinks be smart about it. Take a cab there and then you will have to call a cab to get home. When you know you are going to be drinking have someone else drop you off. There is a big problem in this country with underage drinking and driving as well.
It is important that you stress to your teens the importance of not driving after drinking. Of course you want to tell them they should not drink but if it happens they should know not to get in a car. Many teenage lives have been lost due to drunk driving.
