It’s dangerous to be blackout drunk no matter what you’re doing. 11 shots of tequila will certainly put the majority of people there.

11 shots of tequila

why wouldn’t they?

a task you need to be sober for

Did somebody get drunk and imagine herself the victim again?

This type of collision involving a sober driver and drunk pedestrian is included in the tally of alcohol-related traffic crashes. As a result, it exaggerates the problem of DUI -- which the road lobby likes because they can blame traffic fatalities on the "epidemic" of drunk drivers rather than their dangerous stroad designs.

This is a more effective argument against alcohol than it is against cars. 11 shots of tequila is an easy way to end up in the hospital regardless of what you're doing. If that's what it takes to get you drunk there are groups that can help with your alcoholism.

It's dangerous to drink period, but yeah, cars are dangerous too.

Imagine accidentally killing a family of four because you walked home from the bar.

I think drunk drivers make it unsafe for every pedestrian regardless of their soberity. I see kids, adults, and seniors all crossing a busy intersections in a relatively small town every morning. Nearly every day i see a near miss fron a driver turning right on red and nearly hitting a very visibile pedestrian crossing in the crosswalk while they have the right to cross. And most of these drivers arent even drunk or impaired, many of them are texting though.

Most often, the driver is looking up the road to ensure the traffic lanes are clear but many forget to also ensure the crosswalk is clear. What really bothers me is when most drivers almost hit someone, including seniors or children, they honk and throw their hands up as if that pedestrian is the asshole. At least the honk might give someone just enough time to avoid being hit.

I almost cross-posted this video to fuckcars, but held back bc people tend to dislike my video shares. Anyway the word is getting out there, both of the dangers of cars, and alcohol, and especially the combination, and furthermore the dangers for others who did not make the choice to drive.

You can remove drunk

And boating (which is actually illegal, in Minnesota, at least), although you mostly end up killing only yourself.

And bicycling, where drunk bicyclists are almost more of a hazard to pedestrians than cars, if to less effect. You might only be put in the hospital, but bicyclists are not required to carry insurance, so good luck recouping your medical costs.
