I for one can't stand it when people drink and drive. It caused lives. To the ones out there that drink and drive, if you don't care about yourselves then think about the innocents that do care about themselves. Why should the innocents lose their lives because of your decisions. I had friends and family lose their lives because of drunk drivers. There was a mother and her three children crossing the road in Edmonton once, they can never cross the road anymore because they are now dead due to a drunk driver. They crossed the road on the crosswalk. The one child was dragged so far down the road before the drunk driver even stopped. If anyone who reads this that do drink and drive I hope you pay attention to the story about the mother and her three children because this is very true. They are no longer here but the drunk driver is. PAY ATTENTION DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE
