Drink driving continues to cast a reckless spell upon society.
Drink driving continues to steer people head on into catastrophe.
Intoxicated drivers behind the wheel have been responsible for too many
deaths since mankind drank alcohol and drove a vehicle under the
influence.
Drinking and driving is viewed by the law and society as man
slaughter/murder and the physical /psychological penalties drunk drivers
face will stay with them for the rest of their lives if they are still alive.
This is another reason why alcohol is so dangerous. The haze the mind
creates alters brains pathways and dissolves logical reasoning, which
puts people in a state of mind where reasoning is left behind.
Its estimated that every 45 seconds someone dies from an alcohol
related incident due to drunk driving, whether pedestrians, passengers or
the driver.
In the US. alcohol related deaths are the leading cause of criminal deaths and almost half of road fatalities are due to
drunk driving.
What’s more concerning is that 33% of drink drivers will re-offend...that’s a real drink driving problem!
‘Alcohol has a tendency to change your well laid out rules
and plans’..
The dumbest thing someone does is trying to save time or money by driving to their drinking destination. If you think
you might be at risk of drink driving, even if you have the slightest feeling you could be tempted..don’t drive. Consider
catching public transport/ taxi, or organize getting there and back with someone who’s definitely not drinking. If any of
those options are unavailable, then don’t go because drink driving is never worth any kind of risk. Luckily, yes luckily
thousands of drink drivers get caught over the legal limit every year. Guess what the number one excuse for drink driving
is? ‘I thought I was fine to drive’. Our sense of composure and the fear instinct becomes blunted and diminished when
intoxicated.
Its important to plan responsible drinking before touching a drop of alcohol. Alcohol has a tendency to start changing the
rules of well laid out plans. If you ever feel tempted to drink and drive, or know someone who could be at risk, take time
to think about the dangerous consequences:
•
What will happen when I get caught after a drink driving accident?
•
How would I, the victims, or those close to me feel if I hurt, or killed someone?
•
How would drink driving affect my relationships, friends, family…work?
•
Is it worth the risk to kill someone and end your own your life in the process?
•
If people cant be honest with themselves about any of the above, then its true what they say....you get what you
deserve.
Imagine waking up in a jail cell, or a hospital, then to your horror you begin recalling the devastation you’ve been
responsible for? When people fail to think ahead and are involved in a drink driving accident, its something that will weigh
heavily on their shoulders, minds and the rest of their lives..
Ultra Fast Weight gain from drinking ….
Drinking alcohol makes you gain weight fast! In fact a bout of
binge drinking comes loaded with more calories than consuming more than four
pizzas, 2 milk shakes and 2 burgers! Even 1 beer, or a standard spirit is the equivalent
of eating two chocolate bars. With that much energy contained within each drink it
would take 20 minutes of cycling at 15kms/hr. to burn off a can of beer!
Weight gain from drinking alcohol doesn’t just come from mega calories within
the alcohol but also from the high sugar mixers which contain tons of calories which
bloats the face and body to unhealthy proportions. Oh, and don’t forget the standard
junk food you’re tempted to eat on your way home...
Ladies Please!...its not only men that are
suffering from self prescribed alcohol abuse. Women are
making bigger idiots of themselves too! The female
population is also abusing alcohol in growing numbers.
Women’s alcohol related crimes and deaths have risen
drastically over the last decade, as have alcohol related
pregnancies and suicides. Are they doing it to make us feel
better about our drinking problems?...Actually they’re
probably drinking to forget about mens drinking problems!
‘OK…so why even drink?’
Because its fun and an ancient social appetizer. Almost all adult social occasions include alcohol on the menu (social life is
hard for alcoholics). Alcohol relaxes people and helps them interact by lubricating their personalities. Try to not lubricate
yourself to the point where it makes you slip and slide over to the other side of the social border!
Its going to be a long time before alcohol disappears from liquor shop shelves and is replaced by a much needed
healthier, safer mode of entertainment. As history has shown us, its likely that todays drink drivers and the damage they
create, plus other alcohol related problems we currently face will be looked back at with disgust by future generations.
