There are many people who choose to get behind the wheel of a car after drinking. Many individuals think this is a harmless practice, but they are wrong. Each year, the effects of drunk driving costs taxpayers millions of dollars. The worst part is what it does to the families of the victims who are hit by a drunk driver. Many lives have been changed forever because of someone being killed or seriously injured by a drunk driver. Drunk driving harms the families of the victims by putting them under immense stress and costing them a lot of money in medical bills and/or a funeral. Families who have had the misfortune of having a loved one hit by a drunk driver are often put under a great deal of anguish. This often stems from not knowing whether or not their loved ones will be alright. It can often cause many sleepless nights and can also affect performance at work or school. The stress produced can even cause or aggravate health problems such as migraines and high blood pressure. Many victims who have been hit by a drunk driver are seriously injured and require an extended stay in the hospital. This extended stay can cost families thousands of dollars. This financial burden can create mental stress and can also cause conflict within a family. If people fully understood the devastating effects of drunk driving, they would refrain from doing it. A person who has been drinking should ask him or herself one very important question before getting behind the wheel of a car: What are the consequences of my actions?
