In our current society, there's some sort of stigma around drunk driving. Ironically, even though we all know someone who was harmed or affected by drunk driving, teens still think it's 'cool' to post online about driving drunk. Some even record it to 'show off' to their friends. This behavior shouldn't be glorified, and here's a few reasons why. All research was taken from the following websites: iii.org, factretriever.com, nhtsa.gov, cdc.gov.

1. As of 2016, 29 people died from drunk driving accidents every day.

That's children, parents, grandparents, sisters and brothers. Everyone loses someone from this behavior, and someone is always affected.

2. More than half the children that died in 2014 died from drunk driving accidents.

These are children, ages 0 - 14, who barely had the chance to experience life before it was taken away from them by a drunk driver.

3. In Massachusetts, 'social hosts' are liable for any accidents their guests may have after they leave their event.

"The Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled in February 2012 that social hosts could be held liable for off-premise injury to people caused by the drunk driving of a guest only if the host served alcohol or made it available." https://www.iii.org/article/background-on-drunk-driving

4. 1.1 million people arrested in 2015 were arrested for alcohol or narcotic use while driving.

Wanna see how many people that is?

5. Driving Drunk will never be forgiven by the people you harm along the way

You always have a choice. It's not something you couldn't help.
