Drunk Driving Is Bad

Drinking and driving is a very dangerous thing to do. Nothing is worse than driving under the influence. It does not matter how many drinks a person has had, they should never get behind the wheel even if it was just a glass of wine. Slap someone if they even think about driving while they are drunk. Slap them so hard that it will knock some sense into them. Most people think it is okay to drink and drive because they think that they can handle it, but they are wrong. Alcohol acts like an antidepressant medication, it slows a person’s mind down. In a matter of seconds a person can be killed due to a car accident caused by a drunk driver.

The device pretty much ruins a person’s chance of drinking again until the device is removed from the car. Lastly, drinking and driving is bad because you can lose your life or even worse, you can kill somebody in a car accident. I cannot imagine killing someone because I want to be stupid and drive under the influence of alcohol. No one deserves to die in the hands of a drunk driver. Always remember my advice, slap someone if they ever think about drinking and driving. It will help, I
