Drink and drive, and your life may never be the same again. You not only risk your life when you drink and drive, you also risk losing your license, incurring expensive fines, doing time in jail or even causing injury or death to an innocent bystander. With all these consequences facing you, driving under the influence is the worst decision you can make. Don't take chances with drinking and driving; there's always a better alternative.
