There are those who know well the consequences to themselves and thus do not engage in "irresponsible" behavior not because they care about the effects on others but themselves. If those "consequences" were moot, they may be "irresponsible" as well. So, there are those with different motivations for perhaps the same actions or nonactions. something to consider or actually, pretty obvious.
Poor excuses. There are people who wake up in prison cells not even realizing they killed someone with their car.
last year i got drunk and couldnt walk so i drove home everyone told me off they said why did you drive i simply said well .....i couldnt bloody well walk
We only had the one vehicle and there was no cab service anywhere near us. And all my friends were usually drunk so they couldn't give me a ride.
Over here in the UK you will almost definitely lose your driving license if you are caught driving while drunk. I think a lot of people do it because they think they can handle their drink better than everyone else, or that they just won't get caught. I think our government takes it to extremes, but I can see their reasoning. I have seen a lot of youtube videos of drunks swerving onto the wrong side of the road and hitting oncoming cars, and other horrible accidents. My friend used to drive all the time when he was drunk, and I have been in cars with people who were driving after drinking all night, and I never thought about it until I got a car of my own. I am very careful about it myself.
That's funny. Might cause thousands of deaths if people paid attention to it, but still funny,Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Easily, alcohol impairs judgement. I know that when I drink, I think many stupid ideas are great ideas.
Not only does alcohol lower your response time and coordination...it also lowers your ethical sensitivity to the consequences. This is why alcohol is far more destructive than many illegal drugs.
The average person caught driving drunk has driven drunk more than 350 times without getting caught. That's what my co-worker told me he was told in the mandatory lectures that were part of his getting his license back. Those are pretty good odds, if you have nowhere to sleep except your own bed. It's a control thing, with a lot of guys. They can handle their booze, as real men can.
You could have gotten your husband to drop you off and pick you up. My husband used to drop me off and pick me up at the end of the night when I went out with friends and wanted to enjoy a few glasses of wine. I did the same with him as well. When we went out together, one of us would not drink and we would do this in turns. If we both wanted to have a drink, we would catch a cab. Or, alternatively, have one person in your group of friends as the designated driver for the night and rotate it each time you went out. There are always alternatives.
