Did you know that over 30% of all crashes that happened in the U.S. were caused by drunk drivers? Think about that for a second, out of every 10 car crashes that happen, 3 of them were people that were drunk. What’s even worse is that in 2021 alone, it was estimated that around 13,384 people died in car crashes caused by drunk drivers. According to this site, someone was killed in a drunk-driving crash about every 39 minutes which is crazy. This actively demonstrates and shows how big of an issue being drunk can be because when drunk, the alcohol stimulates our brain and causes our brain to increase our impulsivity, which is basically acting before thinking about the action. We can also see this in stories like Othello as well and the particular reason for this we see that as soon as Cassio gets drunk Iago instigates several fights and since Cassio’s impulsivity is super high, he’s more likely to stab Roderigo instead of thinking about his action first.

Did you also that roughly 40% of inmates who were thrown in jail, committed offenses under the influence of alcohol or were just straight-up drunk? These stats demonstrate how easy it is to jeopardize your legacy and your reputation but like I mentioned earlier this can also put the lives of others at risk as well. Some of the offenses can include property crime, public order offenses, or even driving while intoxicated. According site this site, they estimated that almost all of the inmates who were under the use of alcohol had an estimated blood alcohol content(BAC) level of almost three times the legal limit. 

To sum up, everything that has been said so far, it is important to be aware of how much you drink whenever you go out, and if you do end up having a little too much fun, take certain precautions because you don’t want to put your life as well as others lives in danger as well. One thing you can do is order an Uber, or a Lyft driver instead of trying to drive home while being drunk.
