10/09/2007: "Drunk Driving"

Drinking does not only affect your life, if you take it far enough you can put every ones life in danger. When you drink and drive you are more then ten times more likely to get in a car accident then if you were sober. Thats why so many people die every day because of drunk drivers, on average more then two people die every hour from drunk drivers. I think that is 100% unacceptable, because these are all deaths that can be prevented.

That leads me to my next point, are "accidents" caused by drunk drivers really considered accidents? The driver could have prevented the accident by not driving while under the influence. I mean with a regular car accident you cant prevent it most of the time that's why its called an accident, but when you have been drinking its a whole different story, that's why I think we need to change the name to murder.

When someone falls on a knife that you had in your hand that's an accident, but if you purposely have been drinking then stab someone then that's murder. So when you get into a car knowing your wasted you are just loading your gun getting ready to shoot somebody.

Get a designated driver before you go out, why put yours and everyone else's life in danger?
