Drunk driving
by Bennet PAES on Feb 01, 2010 12:48 PM

DON'T DRIVE, IF DRUNK

It's all about social conciousness.
For example:
A guy is invited to a party and gets loaded. I mean he is
drunk.
His host or the others in the party who have been drinking sensibly and not drunk, must prevent him from
driving back home. In fact they must help him get back there by any means possible.

That's what I mean by "social consiousness" and this is what
needs to be aroused in society.

If, on the other hand, friends pump in drinks until bottles get
emptied without the least concern about driving home, that's
what I call: "social irresponsibility" and awareness of it must
be promoted in society.

That is the best way to avoid " driving, if drunk", and not go
on advising: "don't drink and drive". This latter slogan is a
JOKE. Who on earth skips a drink just because he has to drive?
In fact, I drive better after a swig, who doesn't!!!!!
