Bring back the 18th amendment! Well, I guess just make a new amendment that repeals the 21st amendment. hmmmm....

Really sad story, and I know a lot of people who drive after drinking, but there isn't much that you can do. Maybe if all cars required that you pass a sobriety test before starting. I don't know... :/

It didn't affect our lives directly if that's what you're saying, but it does give us a lesson. World War II didn't directly affect us either, but we've still learned what terror that war brought us. Mass amounts of innocent people killed on all sides just for power...that taught us how evil people can be if we gave them power.

Don't be oblivious.

Haha. Adults aren't the only stupid ones regarding drunk driving.

What about drunk TEEN drivers? Some stupid 16-year-old girl drove home drunk some years ago, close to my house, on New Year's Day morning.. She was intoxicated of course, and she ran a red light. She collided with this other guy and killed him, but she suffered little to no injuries. He was actually drunk as well when the accident happened but he wasn't running a red light. He had been legally driving through a green light but whatever. The dumb bitch drove through the red light and smashed him.

I feel no sympathy for her. She ruined her own life. And she was charged with manslaughter. I only remembered this case though cause some news article came out about her some months ago... She's uh.. 19 now. In jail still, if I'm not mistaken, and went to my high school.

[A2P]

Are you implying that those teens who got killed in the original case the OP brought up deserved to die Nyokou?

I don't understand ?_?

[Nyokou]

Wow, no, I didn't even imply that at all.

There will always be teens the same age as the victims in the OP that drive drunk and kill innocent adults and there will always be adults that drive drunk and kill innocent teenagers. It's an endless cycle of misfortune.

And if anything, teens only add on to the death by drinking illegally and well, generally being ****ups. I wouldn't be surprised if these victims actually did drink illegally or had friends that did. But they didn't deserve to die for it. They were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

It's impossible to trust everyone on the road these days when alcohol is so readily given to adults of legal age and so easily snuck into the hands of teenagers.

Thanks to a new law in Brazil, you're now not allowed to drive if you drink. If you're caught drunk, you go to jail.

Accidents have been reduced almost 25%. The statistics are just simply amazing, just months after the new law went through. Also, a lot of people went to jail. xD I reckon they deserve it though, those ****ers.

Perhaps someday the US could consider a law like this...

[Izzy]

I bet the US would pass more harsh laws if our jails weren't already over flowing with people who still don't care that our old laws exist.

A little girl in grade 5 in the middle school I went to back in junior high died in a drunk driving accident. She and her grandma were driving home one day and a drunk trucker hit them. She was just a little girl and everyone in the school was really emotional because it was the really small school in a small town kind of school where everyone knew each other.

The "two drinks" limit is completely different for everyone, like since I'm short and small, if I drank two drinks I'd probably over the limit while a tall guy could drink three drinks and not be over. The government should come up with more accurate ways of measuring if you're good to drive, or make it so you can't even sniff the bottle cap if you're gonna be driving.
They should also encourage people to ask other people to make sure that they don't drive while their drunk because A LOT of people say that they would never drive after they had been drinking, but then when they get drunk, they get stupid and do things they wouldn't normally do; like drinking and driving.

i was in southbank parklands with my friend, bree
we got out of the cinemas at around 11 and we were on our way to the bus stop,
and about 3 drunk guys (the area we were in is surrounded by restaurants, bars etc)
kept following us, and screaming for like 10 minutes, then we saw cops and they handled the drunk guys xD
thats happened a lot to me. who knows what wouldve happened :/

[Dimitri13]

What does that have to do with drunk driving?

[poochieCREAM]

the drunk bit minus the driving o-O
could be just as serious.

[Cmh1010]

I work in a town with lots of drunks and after work sometimes, random drunk guys follow me and talk to me and stuff. Sometimes they come in the store and cause trouble too.

[LilyPichu]

Drunk driving is despicable. You're risking people's lives once you're on that road..
That's an incredibly sad story. That, and all the other tales of misfortunes caused by drunk driving.
God knows how many there are by now. xx;

Oh, you are looking for the forum 18 forums down.

This is why I think drinking is overrated. To assume that a population can, as a whole, be responsible with its drinking patterns and make sure not to have an intoxicated system while driving a vehicle is obviously a mistake.

What I'm asking is if so much hype about beer and getting wasted is really worth the guaranteed 10,000+ drunk driving deaths each year (in USA)? (historically it has usually been 15 to 25 thousand) I feel like we are basically sacrificing innocent and non-innocent lives on a large scale as a consequence of having a little extra fun. Or is there some great justification I am unaware of?
