People drink. That's life. But make smart choices and don't get behind the wheel of a car. Give your keys to someone. Wait until you're truly honestly sober or sleep it off.
Drunk driving kills people. People that were cared about. People that wanted to do things with their lives.
Don't drink and drive. Ever.

And if you're friend is drunk and attempting to drive, try and stop them.

Agreed wholeheartdly...it makes me angry and sad when I hear about people drinking and driving. I'll be honest and say it never really bothered me until my father did it and died one day after my 21st birthday.
The place he was drinking at had a few sober people who were heading home as well and could've easily took his keys away and drove him back home instead they let him drive. Sad, one of his friends who was at the little get together could hardly sit through his funeral without telling himself he should've took him home or took his keys. He'll have to live with that for the rest of his life.
Now it bothers me alot because people think they're invincible or can do things differently than those who drank and drove than died, they come up with dumb 'tactics', "I only drive slow!" or 'I always wear my seatbelt and roll the windows down to keep myself awake.' and my 'favorite', 'If I get cold I get sober so I turn the airconditoner on when I'm driving.'.
But yea..it's a hurt feeling knowing you lost someone due to a idiotic act of drinking and driving. I've lost my dad a year ago, my ex my senior year of high school and my cousin in 2005, all due to drinking and driving.
I see movie stars in the news being arrested for drinking and driving and I want to travel to their homes and strangle them, they have more than enough money to hire a taxi or limo driver yet for some odd reason they choose to drink and drive.
Anyway yea...like Bardock and Josh said please don't drink and drive. And if you see someone who you don't even know about to risk their life or anyone elses by stepping behind the wheel under the influence of alcohol or drugs kick their ass and take the keys.

I completely agree. Driving while inebriated in any way is idiotic and suicidal.
I feel like one of those old people that I used to hate when I was a little kid, but looking back now I understand what they were saying. It's the truth. Too many people die every year from this shit.
I just wanna add also, don't let drunks drive you home. Even if it's your best friend, mom/dad or bf/gf, drunk is drunk and that's it. If you have to walk, it won't kill you. If you have to call a cab, that won't kill you either. Getting in that car CAN.
....I think I'm done now.

I agree with the anti-drinking and driving... but... uh...
Sorry if this is none of my business, but, like, was this thread created in response to something?

That was really spam =\
It was centered and big. It still says it.

One of my friends was recently killed by a drunk driver going the wrong way in a head on collision. Irony of irony, she worked at the police station in the admin office.

Oh...
I sort of assumed it was going to be something close to home like that.
I'm sorry to hear that, Bardock.
Don't drink and drive - Raditzu - 01-12-2008
My condolences.

My condolences, Turles and Bardock.
I had a similar experience, but luckly without such a tragic ending. My eldest brother and two of his friends went to have fun and all of them got drunk. Without waiting to get sober or get someone else to drive, they sat in the car and took off. What`s worse is that they didn`t even put their seat belts on. The result was that they flew off the road.
Luckly, all three of them survived the incident. My brother had damage to his face and somewhere else (can`t remember where), but otherwise he was allright. The other two faired a bit worst (one of them needed to get a leg operation), but not too much. I was relived. Given the circumstances, it could have ended a lot worst then it did.

What I hate most about it is when drunk people make a stupid choice and kill someone else who is completely innocent. I don't know why anyone thinks driving while under the influence of ANYTHING that alters you is okay.
Really sorry to hear that Bardock.
