Driving whilst not being sober is referred to internationally as Driving While Intoxicated, Impaired Driving, Driving under the Influence or as we in South Africa say – simply as Drunk Driving!
There is not much dispute as to the factors leading up to this physical state – it is purely the act of drinking and drinking far beyond what is the reasonable norm. Drinking is not socially unacceptable – what is socially unacceptable is having too many drinks and then operating a vehicle or walking on a road and placing the lives of other road users in danger!
Is there a miracle cure? No – there is no miracle cure to enable someone who is intoxicated to go on the road. There might be miracle cures to help a drunk person to feel better faster – but only time will enable such a person to sober up and to regain the ability to safely operate a vehicle!
The best ways to avoid DWI:
-Take a nap and stay over
– Have a designated driver take you home
-Call a taxi!!
