A weekend full of parties begins today. Almost everyone is expecting the excitement of going out and drinking with friends. Few are thinking of the dangers,that is,drunk driving. This is becoming a major problem on the campus.

  "I'm OK,and I can drive. " is often heard during parties. Many times people will not realize how much alcohol they have consumed and they don't realize how it may affect them. In fact,many of us have been in situations where we have got into a car driven by a person that has had several drinks. And several drinks may be enough to lead to impaired driving and can result in serious consequences.

  The words "Don't drink and drive！”have been spoken enough. However,I still don't think people would listen. In order to be over the legal limit of a blood al?cohol concentration of 0. 08,a man must have four drinks in one hour on an empty stomach. One might brush this off saying four drinks in one hour is excessive,but driving under the legal limit may put oneself and others in danger.

  One must seriously consider what one is doing while driving. When I first got my driving license,my father told me," A car is a weapon if used irresponsibly." Most people know someone who has been killed or seriously injured due to a drunk driver. Driving is dangerous when one is not in full control.

  Along with endangering the safety of oneself and others,if one is found driving drunk,major problems may follow. There is the possibility of higher insurance rates,loss of the license,jail sentence or community service.

  The consequences should prevent all people from driving drunk,but sadly this is not the case. People still choose to drive without full mental capacity. Part of this stems from a belief that we are above the rules set out for other people. People think that it will not happen to them. But the truth is that drinking and driving re?ally does affect people everywhere. And it needs to be taken seriously.

  I suggest that anyone driving over the weekend should choose not to drink at all,even though they may be under the legal limit of drinks. This weekend should be fun. With driving safety in mind,you should be confident that you will return to your campus without any problems.
