Buzzed Event Final Project

Did you know that nearly 13,000 people are killed each year due to alcohol-related incidents, or how about an estimated 32% of fatal car crashes involve an intoxicated driver or pedestrian. It seems that even though these statistics are increasing yearly people still tend to do it. Is alcohol that addictive that people must drink and drive? It is sad to say that people have to learn the hard way for them to understand the danger that they put themselves in when you drink and drive. A story I feel like everyone should know about is “Went to the Party” by Brett M Christensen, where an innocent young women went to a party and decided to drink sprite instead of alcohol because her mom asked her to, but of course others were drinking alcohol at the party. Young adults, a party, liquor, and driving this sounds like a recipe for disaster, as it was because on her way home a drunk driver from the party crashed into the young lady’s car. The only thing she could do was tell her mom that she loved her through the words of journalist who was there recording everything she said. I encourage anyone who sees this to read this story because it can save life. One day the message will ring a bell and people will stop drinking and driving, but until then I hope everyone makes it home safe from the parties that they attend.
