Drinking and Driving
In society drinking and driving has become a very serious issue. Even though there is no easy or simple solution, there is still ways to teach kids the dangers and persuade them not to drink and drive.
The trouble with alcohol is that most people do not truly know what it is and according to Webster’s new world dictionary, “Alcohol is a strong smelling liquid that has no color, evaporates quickly, and burns with hot flame. It is produced by fermenting things, such as grain or fruit”(18). Another way of looking at it is that alcohol is a drug that it slows down vital functions and results in slurred speech, unsteady movement, disturbed perception and inability to react quickly. It can change your mood and behavior, and make it harder to think clearly and move with coordination (drugfreeworld). Statistics say that the percent of alcohol in your body that you can drive with depends on your gender and weight. Even though the legal age for drinking is 21, a lot of teens become addicted to drinking under age. Being an adolescent, the brain and body are not mature enough to handle alcohol because this time in their life is a very critical growing period. Drinking while going through adolescence can lead to lifelong damage in brain function, particularly as it relates to memory, motor skills (ability to move) and coordination. According to webster’s new world dictionary (10) statistics show that people who begin drinking before age 15 are four times more likely to develop alcohol dependence than those who begin drinking at age 21.
Even though statistics have shown that drinking and driving has dropped, there is still a large amount of it and drinking and driving is a very serious issue. In the United States in 2007, the death toll from teenage drunk-driving accidents was 1,393—nearly four fatalities every day of the year, and with that, motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death among teenagers with 31% from drinking and driving...

Driving Under Influence, or more simply drunk driving, is dangerous. It endangers not only the driver but also others sharing the road; like pedestrians, passengers of other cars, and occupants in the drunk driver's car.  Many lose their lives or suffer serious injuries due to DUIs.


The legal consequences of drunk driving are also severe. DUI laws vary state by state but many call for mandatory alcohol education, suspended license or even jail time for repeated offenders.


In addition to legal consequences, a drunk driver may lose work time due to the legal proceedings or even the job. If the case becomes public, the driver may lose social respect and feet guilty from damages done to others in the community.


When you dine out and enjoy a drink, always consider alternatives to get home. Take a cab, use public transportation, walking, or have a designated driver. Just do not drink and drive!

ANEK [815]

Answer:Here, James took the right decision. I will clarify this with few points.

1st - If he purchases a car at high interest rate, he will still have all his debt on previous credit card standing as it is. He will have to pay car loan plus his older dues thus paying at double places.

2nd - It is likely that he can still default on loans as paying double money each month can create problems and James can again stop making payments.

3rd - If James starts paying his debts now, he can be free in a few years time and his credit score will again become good. Then he will get the regular rate of interest for his car as he will be debt free.

So, we can say, he made the right decision.
