Drunk Driving = Tragic

I was away from home for days and was clearing my flooded and almost submerged mailbox yesterday. There was in particular, an email that struck me quite deeply. It was titled – Drunk Driving.

I forwarded it to many friends, praying that such tragic incident would never happen again. For those who have not seen that mail, let me just give you a brief summary of what it was about. On a December night in 1999, a 17 years old boy was driving home after a drink with some friends.

He collided with another car. That car busted into flame and the scorching heat melted all hopes of a 20 years old, young and beautiful girl. She was gravely disfigured.
It is really hard to believe that she is still alive despite all that she had been through.

Blame it on that irresponsible rascal. I mean, if he was mature enough to drive, I don’t see why he was immature enough to think. And standing at a tender age is no reason to shove responsibility either. So what if he had regretted? He had totally destroyed a person. No matter how much money he was willing to pay as compensation, it is never possible to restore the beauty she used to have.

I hate it when people drink and drive. They are being selfish by endangering the precious life of others. Death may not be the ultimate result, and it might turn out to be something worst off than death. Just like the example above. I am not saying that drinking is bad, but there should be a limit to it. Being drunk is not a reason to escape from faults. Do not let alcohol rule your life.

It is difficult understand. I mean, people drink when they are on cloud nine, when they are feeling down and when they have nothing better to do. But for what? If people are stuck with drugs, I understand that they need drugs to keep them going. Is there really a thing such as alcohol addict? Perhaps there is.

If I was that girl, I won’t have the courage to live on. Call me a coward or a wimp. Be it.

Generally, it is unsafe to get drunk in public, especially for girls. Even if you are with groups of friends or with your bf, you never know when they might betray you. It might be too late to regret when you sober up. I do drink a little; only at home, and never get myself drunk. You might think that I am too conservative. Yes I am.
Heed my advice or not. Your choice.
