DrugBuyers.Com: Busted for possession...please help I'm scared

Yeppers, in your last post you (finally) wrote:

"No I will not drink even one and drive again."

THANK YOU. That was what I wanted to hear all along. That you would not drink and drive.
I wish you all the best of luck.

For the person who accused many of us of being judgemental...when it comes to the issue of driving while drunk, you bet I am judgemental. Most people are. We are judgemental because driving while intoxicated results in thousands of deaths on our roadways every year.
According to the CDC-
Alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes kill someone every 30 minutes and nonfatally injure someone every two minutes (NHTSA 2003a).

During 2002, 17,419 people in the U.S. died in alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes, representing 41% of all traffic-related deaths (NHTSA 2003a).

In 2001, more than 1.4 million drivers were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics (FBI 2001). Thats slightly more than 1 percent of the 120 million self-reported episodes of alcoholimpaired driving among U.S. adults each year (Dellinger 1999).

Nearly two-thirds of children under 15 who died in alcohol-related crashes between 1985 and 1996 were riding with the drinking driver. More than two-thirds of the drinking drivers were old enough to be the parent of the child who was killed, and fewer than 20% of the children killed were properly restrained at the time of the crash (Quinlan 2000).

Cost

In its publication The Economic Impact of Motor Vehicle Crashes, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that alcohol-related crashes in 2000 were associated with more than $51 billion in total costs (Blincoe 2002).

Groups at Risk

Male drivers involved in fatal motor vehicle crashes are almost twice as likely as female drivers to be intoxicated with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.10% or greater (NHTSA 2003a). A BAC of 0.08% is equal to or greater than the legal limit in most states.

At all levels of blood alcohol concentration, the risk of being involved in a crash is greater for young people than it is for older people (Mayhew 1986). In 2002, 24% of drivers ages 15 to 20 who died in motor vehicle crashes had been drinking alcohol (NHTSA 2003b).

Young men ages 18 to 20 (too young to buy alcohol legally) report driving while impaired almost as frequently as men ages 21 to 34 (Liu 1997).

In 2002, 22% of the 2,197 traffic fatalities among children ages 0 to 14 years involved alcohol (NHTSA 2003c).

You can see here, just by looking at the statistics that this is why people are "judgemental". Combine alcohol consumption and driving and you end up with carnage. We were all sickened when 3,000 innocent people died on 9-11. We should also be sickened that in 2003 over 17,000 people perished in alcohol related car crashes. It is especially horrible that almost 1/4 of the children who died in car wrecks were killed because someone got in their car and drove after drinking. If these people chose not to drink and drive almost 500 kids would still be on this earth with their families, going to school, playing with friends, having summer cookouts, going to the beach...but instead they are lying in a hole, 6 feet under. Their families miss them terribly, grieving the loss of their children. If it bothers you that others are judgemental about this issue, I don't know what to tell you. I guess quite frankly, I don't care. If this thread convinces just one person not to drink and drive, it's worth it. And as Yeppers has posted that she will not even drink one drink and then drive, perhaps we have changed her mind on the issue. That's a good thing.
