Teens and drunk driving: a major society problem

Remember back in the day when you received your driver's license, and you were all stoked that you could go places on your own? Yep, those were the good old days, weren't they? Just you and your buddies heading out in the parent's car for a night on the town. Finally no one was watching! You could virtually do whatever you wanted, right? Wrong! Unfortunately a lot of kids think it works that way. This is where you end up with teens and drunk driving. Those darn teenagers head out and scurry after anything they've been told they can't have. What is with that anyway? Why is that the typical human nature? I believe they call that hamartia in the film world. Also known as the tragic flaw.

Do you know the statistics on teens and drunk driving? Well, if you don't then you're probably sitting happily in the dark. The fact is that teens are always anxious to get their hands on alcohol for some darn reason. And when you mix that with their pathetic driving skills, it equals a major problem. Sometimes when I ponder the issue of teens and drunk driving, I don't know exactly how to relate. I never drank as a teen simply because I thought it was lame because everyone else was doing it. I certainly did not want to do what anyone else was doing. I wanted to be completely autonomous. Sadly this is not the common belief shared by most. In reality most teenagers drink, and since they have a driver's license, they're susceptible to something going wrong. I think I got a pretty big dose reality when my teenage daughter came to me with her alcohol incident. While I was glad it didn't concern teens and drunk driving, I wasn't happy about the other aspects of the predicament. It turned out that she and her friends thought it would be cool to steel liquor from a club house and chug it down. Unfortunately for them they got busted for possession (since they're underage), trespassing and burglary. Nice huh? I seriously doubt that they expected all that to come of wanting to try alcohol. Anyway, if you're concerned about teens and drunk driving, because you have some teens of your own, then maybe it's time to hop online and get the low-down.
