With the New Year's Eve festivities approaching, we at Twenty-One
Debunked want to remind everyone to celebrate responsibly. There is
absolutely no excuse for drunk driving at
any age,
period.
We cannot stress this enough. It's very simple--if you plan to drive,
don't drink, and if you plan to drink, don't drive. And there are
numerous ways to avoid mixing the two. Designate a sober driver, take a
cab, use public transportation, crash on the couch, or even walk if you
have to. Or stay home and celebrate there. Or don't drink--nobody's
got a gun to your head.
I will be celebrating New Year's Eve and New Year's Day responsibly. As the article said, there's no excuse for drunk driving. There's no excuse for binge drinking or abusing alcoholic beverages in another manner. Instead of pointing fingers, which results in bad policy, at people who don't deserve part of the blame, the right answer is to look at the problem holistically.
