does anyone here think that drinking and driving is overated?  like i understand if were hammered it's obviously bad to drive, but like if we have a few drinks and were slightly buzzed i don't see anything wrong with it? i mean were still in control.  if anything a lot of ppl drive more carefully when they had a few drinks.  its annoying when people go crazy that we had a couple drinks and drove when were completely fine and the drinks didn't affect us at all.  does anyone else agree?  your all probably going to judge me, but it's just my opinion.

some people drive drunk better than when they're sober.

Thats the stupidest thing ive ever heard in my life. You dont feel your couple of drinks  till after the fact anyways... Either way, I have lost a lot of friends due to that reason, Its stupid to drink drunk. Point Blank.

The problem is the MAJORITY of collisions on the road are caused by drunk drivers. It's fine if you and your friends are magically more cautious drivers when drunk, but the average persons judgment and reaction time gets worse as the alcohol level gets higher.

If you were here, Id punch you in the mouth.

The problem comes in when the person is a lot more drunk than they think they are. It takes good judgment to drive and you cant have that drunk

Your morals and principles are so screwed up, it won't make a difference whether or not I judge you. You'd still be an idiot, whether I said it or not.

Well I know what I can do and you know what you can do.

So all I can say is be sober when driving or operating any heavy machinery or doing any other activity that may put you or others are risk.
