Harsh Realities of Drunk Driving – Sad but True!

Author: Chris M. Alexander

There are some harsh realities surrounding drinking and driving that you might not want to swallow but you need to be aware of them. At the risk of going against popular opinion, most Americans have driven a car after having too many drinks and the overwhelming majority makes it home without causing an accident or being stopped by police. This does not change the fact that there are deaths, but this fact cannot be disputed.

Some Drunk Driving Facts you don’t want to know

How many times has a driver driven while intoxicated before he or she gets into an accident or is caught by law enforcement? Experts say 80 times. This is a real confidence builder for those behind the wheel. Mix this fact with the fact that most first time DUI offenders do not spend time in jail after their first drunk driving conviction and most DWI accidents are not fatal and you have a cocktail for disaster. After all of this experience by the drunken driver, Mothers Against Drunk Driving , SADD and other anti-DUI groups start to sound like Chicken Little or the boy who cried wolf.

Harsh Realities and the Evolution of Drinking and Driving

When a species has no natural predators and natural selection is turned on its head by the fact that stupid people breed at a much faster rate than intelligent folks, you have to wonder what the cosmos will do to thin the herd. Maybe drunk driving is Mother Nature’s way of balancing the scales? Yeah, I know, every now and then the earth throws in a mass conflagration like a major earthquake, volcanic eruption or tsunami, but is this really enough to turn the tide? Have you ever wondered if maybe the Illuminati are already one step ahead of us and this is part of their grand plan? Makes you stop and think right? Why do bars have such large parking lots?

Conspiracy to Promote Drunk Driving

In some places in Texas, they tow away every car left on the street after 3am in the downtown district. Just think, you had a few too many at the bar that closes at 2 am. You stagger out to your ride and you remember some MADD slogan and you say “I am going to take a cab”. Then in another moment of clarity you think, “if I leave my car on the street it will be towed and the impound fee is $250 bucks. Maybe I do a little DWI its only two blocks?” Then –whamo blamo– the new top predator, a Ford Excursion, flattens your Geo Metro. Cha-Ching, one point for Darwin! Sometimes it seems like that catch-22 is out to get you.
