Drinking and Driving Getting drunk can be dangerous. And getting drunk and driving is extra dangerous. About two thousand young people die every year in the United States from car accidents while driving. Among people of all ages, alcohol is involved in about one-third of all car accident deaths. If people didn’t drink and drive, we could avoid up to ten thousand deaths every year!

The young man recommends that others not take the same route he did. He hopes that instead people will learn from his story not to make the same mistakes he did. This story is a lot like other young people’s. This young man was actually lucky, because some stories have far more tragic endings.
