Whiskey, gin, beer, look at them over there calling out names, I know these teanagers are trying so hard not to drink but why what's stopping them only good things can come out of this situation: dancing, doing crazy things, falling over, cracking jokes, getting loud what better can we ask for. They should go ahead and listen to their friends, they should take a drink it won’t kill them. They need to just ignore the fact that they have to drive home and that they'll get blurred vision, one drink won't hurt. In fact it will be easier to drive home while drinking. That way they will be able to drive, drink, and still have time to get their friends home and make it home in time for curfew. They can't hurt anyone, they have driven home while drinking plenty of time before. It's cool to drive and drink and lose control of the wheel. I bet they wish someone was there so they could hit them. Maybe a child around 4 or 5 that would be amazing. Seeing their blood all over the car. They won't be wrong because the child didn't listen to their mother when she …show more content…
Jackpot, now they will have the life experience of killing everyone in the vehicle and including themselves. Mothers crying over their child dying is just for show, she actually happy. Now she won't have to clean up after them, wash their clothes, or even cook for them. Let's not forget that now she won't have to deal with all of their friends coming over to eat all of her food and taking up space, because they are all dead with them. Or even better they love to think about going into the ground six feet and their mother putting dirt on top of them, it would be just like old times, when she played hide and seek with them except this time she knows where they are and knows that they won't be coming back. They should go ahead and take that drink so they can wash their mother's worries way, all she do is cry and that always funny
The facts are plain and simple, that alcohol and driving do not mix. About three in every ten Americans will be involved in an alcohol related crash at some time in their lives. Every single injury and death caused by drunk driving is totally preventable. To curb this national travesty, concerned Americans need to examine the problems, the effects, and the solutions to drunk driving. First of all, America has had a problem with drunk driving since Ford perfected the assembly line. Alcoholism is a problem in and of itself, but combined with driving can have a wide range of effects. The consequences of this reckless behavior can include a first time DUI or licenses suspension; a small fender bender, or worst of all a deadly crash. Most drivers that have only one or two drinks feel fine, and assume they are in control, which is irresponsible and dangerous. Alcohol is a depressant that slows down the body's ability to react and impairs judgment. To drive well, you need to be able to have a quick reaction time to avoid accidents. Unfortunately, people continue to drink and drive. However,...
If one person decides to drive home drunk from a party then that person has a chance of getting into a head on collision with others. That choice to drive drunk has just endangered countless lives of innocent people on the road.
Young adults who barely look old enough to be legal are fighting for our country and putting their lives at risk everyday. Blood drips down their face as they’re being targeted, their lives are flashing before their eyes. It’s unfair that they are old enough to experience tragedy like that, but are not able to drink a beer or two to help them relax. Many of these young men and women experience things that could traumatize them for the rest of their lives. They’re fighting for their country and putting the lives of others before their own. Its unreal what they have to go through, and unbelievable that they can’t have an alcoholic beverage to ease their pain. With everything they go through, they should be able to celebrate their achievements with a few ...
Just like the teenage boy that died in the wreck, most young teen drivers think they are invincible and are owners of the road which is all due to lack of maturity. The mind set of young drivers now days is “I’m too young to die”, or “it wont happen to me” and they are so blinded by the immature thinking that it gets them in trouble. Some traits generally linked with the immaturity are: chance taking, testing limits, poor-decision making, overconfidence, speeding, following to closely, and dangerous passing (Williams). When you have youthful age and immature characteristics combined the crash possibility is enlarged. The 15-16 age groups are among the most accident prone of most groups (“Don’t”), so why then would we want them behind the wheel? “Most U.S. states license at age 16, but the minimum age for a regular license is 14 in South Dakota and 15 in five other states including: Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, and South Carolina”, stated Allan F. Williams. Youthful age and immature thinking is part of the reason wh...
PURPOSE: To persuade my audience NOT to drink and drive Every person is accountable for his or her own “right to drink”. Failure to treat this or any “right” responsibly has consequences. The person’s “right” can and should be taken away when the failure to act responsibly endangers others.
Alcohol is a large part of American culture. All over the United States drinking is not only acceptable but a social norm from teenagers to adults. This is not only the case in the U.S., but all over the world, where some drinking ages are 18 and 19 years of age. In America specifically, alcohol has been around for centuries and is a large part of many social gatherings. Although this is the case now, in the early 1900’s during the prohibition period, all alcohol was banned and deemed illegal to possess. Even though illegal, the task was just too heavy and alcohol was too much a common practice for most Americans. As time went on the prohibition period ended and the laws were revoked, making it legal again to possess alcohol. The drinking related problems that were around during prohibition pale in comparison to the problems alcohol has caused since then.
Many people believe that drunk driving is a big deal and many think that it’s a personal choice in what people choice to do with their lives and if it endangers them or someone then it’s on them.
Drunk driving is an issue that effects many people across our nation. People do not realize the affects alcohol can have on the body and mind that slow decision making while driving. This issue begins in the home. Children see their parents, or other adults figures, have a beer or a cocktail and get in the car. Thus, making it seem like it is acceptable to drink and drive. “One in three people will be involved in an alcohol-related crash in their lifetime” (MADD).
Driving at the age of sixteen is perfectly okay with people who does not seem to care because he or she feels as if someone gets into a car they are automatically going to put all attention into driving the vehicle which is not true nowadays because teenage drivers feel the need to be on a cell phone or trying to control the radio and trying to get dressed or put on make up when he or she should only be focused on operating the car. As the CDC stated “High school students aged 16 years and older who, when surveyed, said they had driven a vehicle one or more times during the past 30 days when they had been drinking alcohol.” ("Teen Drinking and Driving"), high school students are actually drinking when they should not be anywhere neat alcohol beverages and be able to drive. Based on these facts “Teens are more likely to speed, run red lights, make illegal turns, ride with an intoxicated driver, and drive after using alcohol or drugs.” (Only the Strong Survive "Teen Driving Crash and Fatality Stats"), teenagers are most likely to one ride with a intoxicated driver, and two driver after using alcohol or drugs which proves my point that teenagers should not be able to drive at such a young
For many years, drunk driving casualties have been viewed differently. Many believe that drunk driving laws are strict while others believe that it is too lenient. In this generations, where alcohol is cheap and very accessible many tends to abuse it. This people who abuse alcohol is known as drunk drivers because after taking three or four drinks they still believe that they are not drunk and goes back to the wheel of their vehicle without thinking of what will happen next. This drunk drivers are willing to risk their lives and the lives of others because they are ashamed or too big to call a family member or a designated drivers to take them home. If they are lucky and did not die on their way home. Then they create this dangerous cycle of
Alcohol has been produced and consumed by humans throughout history. Alcohol has been a socially accepted factor throughout many years. It may be legal, but it is still a drug. Consuming alcohol can be a savor experience, but consuming too much can cause long term problems to the body and the developing brain. Drinking alcohol is like hiking a mountain, the higher you go up the harder it gets.
Imagine being in a bar with a few of your good friends. Everyone is drinking and having a good time. Your are going to leave and go home, but you friends won't let you because they know the dangers of driving after having a few drinks. Instead they ca ll a cab to give you a ride home. You would be extremely lucky to have such smart friends. Drunk driving is a very serious problem in our society today, but it is becomming socially unacceptable causing the numbers of alcohol related traffic fatalites t o decline considerably.
Specific Purpose: After listening to my speech, my audience will know how alcohol was made and how it affects humans negatively and positively.
Alcohol is a widely available drug. Some people may use alcohol from time to time, and drink small amounts. Other people may drink frequently, and drink large amounts at a time. People who drink alcohol very often for a long time, and have problems after drinking alcohol, may have what is called an alcohol use disorder. Alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence are the two main types of alcohol use disorders:
88,000 people die from alcohol every year, and 30 people die in car crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver. You may not know the effects of alcohol abuse, or you may not know what it is. Alcohol abuse has many risks and could kill you. There is a way you can get yourself treated, but you have to be willing to do it, which is the hard part for many alcohol abusers. Alcohol abuse means the misuse of alcohol.
