Drunk Driving is very bad. It can kill you, and also other people, if you get in a wreck. In the website, Madd.org. The author states that, “Americans take 233 billion trips in cars each year.

They remind him of his family and steady job. Suddenly, those memories disappear in a…

I attended Alcohol Anonymous open (AA) meeting at Resurrection Hospital located on the northwest side of Chicago. The meeting is on Sunday mornings at 9 am., in an average sized room which contained 25 members. There was a wide range of ages from people in their early 20’s up to senior citizens.
