Walking While Intoxicles

Let me tell you that the majority of automobile accidents in America results from alcohol. The alcohol consumed will be existed in blood and it is known as Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC). In this condition, someone will experience lowered alertness which can cause someone to loss of judgement and reduce their ability to track moving object. Beside lowered alertness, the muscle control will be lessened causing difficulty steering and less ability to maintain lane position and brake appropriately. People in a state of drunkenness are also hard to detect danger. It may reduce their response to emergency driving situations.

People that tend to go out for a few drinks often drink too much and still feel the need to drive themselves home. Thinking they are sober enough to tackle the drive home, sadly many people accept the challenge. People go out on the road, not knowing that they are endangering other drivers as well as themselves. Others do not trust people to drive them around so they would rather take the risk.

Car accidents are the biggest risk of injuries and deaths. According to the article Drinking (Alcoholic Beverages), drunk driving kills more than sixteen thousand people each year in the United States. Most of the time, death occurs when there is a driving incident. That death toll rises when being under the influence is involved. If the drunk driver does not pass away, it is usually the innocent victims in the other vehicle that do. Serious injuries also happen besides death. There can be a fall that can lead the person to break a bone or one might fall into a pool and drown without even knowing it. Violence is another form of injury that the intoxicated person can cause. Abuse towards others is the most common one. There is rage that gets build up until it is finally released. They can harm others, weather it is physically or verbally abusive. Being an alcohol addict can make someone have aggressive behavior. This makes the person violent to themselves but mainly to others. As stated in Drinking (Alcoholic Beverages), 36.3% of violent crime offenders were under the influence when the crime was committed. That goes to show what alcohol does to a person as long as they constantly consume

"After drinking people usually feel pleasure and become talkative at first. These feelings are usually replaced by drowsiness as the alcohol is eliminated from the body, and the drinker may then become withdrawn. This pattern often encourages people to drink more to keep the buzz going." ( Net Biz Mentor ). When people get like that they usually get a little bolder and want to do normal tasks and routines like driving a motorized vehicle. The effects of alcohol result in poor coordination, slurred speech, double vision, decrease of self-control, lost of consciousness and maybe even death.

Driving under the influence of alcohol not only presents a danger to the driver, but also to every other motorist or pedestrian near the roadway. Being intoxicated impairs ones judgment, vision and reaction time, all of which is critical when operating any motor vehicle. Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death for Americans aged 6–27 and alcohol is a big factor to those numbers (jstor).

The effects of alcohol include blurred or double vision, impaired attention and slowed reflexes. Your life and the lives of others can change forever if you drive after drinking alcohol.

Although, if you have already been drinking your mental state and thought process can be severely altered due to excessive amounts of alcohol. Then it is important to designate someone to drive everyone to their homes, this person will have gone with those who are drinking in an attempt to corral them home without any kind of flaws. In our current technologically advanced society you can call an Uber or and kind of taxi to take you back home without having the drunk person try to drive.” There is always a better option. Keep the roadways safe along with your loved ones and the loved ones of others by not drinking and driving”

It also affects your vision, your judgement, and your reaction time. Which in order to properly drive a car you need all of those to be working right or properly. When you’ve been drinking and decide to drive yourself home drunk or intoxicated that is risking a lot. Not only is it risking your life, its risking the other people around you. There may be someone walking down the street and from a drunken person eyes they aren’t close to hitting them but in reality they actually hit the person who is walking down the road and it kills them. Now the drunk driver doesn’t only have to go to jail for not only driving intoxicated but he also has to look the deceased family in their eyes and plead guilty for killing that person while driving intoxicated. Not only does it affect the person who was drinking and driving it also affects the person who was drinking and driving’s family and the family who family member was

Many people who drink may experience lack in basic motor skills even though they believe that they 're fine. The ability to walk a straight line, stand, or even operate a vehicle becomes a matter of life and death. “Alcohol-impaired driving crashes account for approximately one third of all crash fatalities in the United States” (Jewett, Shults, Banerjee, and Bergen 1). Percentage wise this along makes up about thirty-three percent. That number will continue to rise unless action is taken. Jewett, Shults, Banerjee, and Bergen states, “An estimated 4.2 million adults reported at least one alcohol-impaired driving episode in the preceding 30 days, resulting in an estimated 121 million episodes and a national rate of 505 episodes per 1,000 population annually” (1). This is just the United States alone and the number of alcohol related incidents is already in the millions. According the blood alcohol concentration the legally drunk limit is .08 grams. After that number is reached the person is no

Whether it is a pedestrian walking down the sidewalk or a car full of people the fact is they are all at put at risk when there are drunk drivers on the road.

     ?Alcohol?s effects are progressively more noticeable as the blood alcohol concentration increases. At a BAC of .02 to .05 percent the effects are almost entirely pleasurable. The drinker feels relaxed and sociable. There may also be some modest impairment of reasoning or memory and general reduction in caution. A BAC of .05 to .07 produces a state of excitement. The drinker begins to suffer from what may be a slight but nonetheless noticeable impairment of balance, speech, vision, reaction time, and hearing. Judgement and self-control are also effected. The driver?s behavior is apt to become more aggressive. In general, the drinker feels stimulated and highly capable. In reality his or her ability to safely perform tasks such as driving that require quick reactions, concentration, and good judgement has been significantly reduced.

This can lead to injury from overconfidence in the drinker’s ability to assess a situation, which might lead them to do something they would normally find inappropriate or not safe. Drinking impairs judgment and can cause the abuser to lose some sense of awareness in situations which might cause an inappropriate response. Someone who has drank in excess might have trouble reciprocating other people’s social cues and may react violently or with aggression since drinking alcohol impairs judgment. Most dangerously of all is the drinker’s loss of control, specifically when they get in a car. A drinker’s motors skills may be at a complete loss after an excess in drinking, this can lead to an automobile accident which could be

In conclusion, many people do not realize that being intoxicated while driving, using cellular phones and teenage drivers may bring serious injuries to everybody. Some people may enjoy drinking without care until they get into car accident, which can even result in

Alcohol in large doses can be very detrimental to not only the user but to people around him/her. For example, if a man was to go to a club and drink a lot of alcohol, in which his body cannot withhold; his heavy intakes will lead to dizziness, vomiting, and impaired breathing and in extreme cases, unconsciousness and coma that can lead to death. According to Caron, underage drinking is a leading public health problem in the United States. Each year, approximately 5,000 young people under the age of 21 die as a result of drinking: 1,900 from motor vehicle accidents, 1,600 from homicides, 300 from suicides, and hundreds from other injuries such as falls, burns, and drowning. This shows that anyone on the road near an intoxicated driver is in grave danger as they can be killed or badly injured in an instant as the drunk driver has slight control over anything they are doing. Many reckless kills have been made by drunken drivers/people over the years resulting in many families to pay the price of losing a family member for no relevant reason at all but making alcohol increase death rates that could be provoked by intruding prohibition.
