Do not drink and drive

Drinking and driving why do people do it i do not know but i can tell you some statistics. First about one-third of all people arrested or convicted for drunk driving are repeat offenders. Over 1.2 million drivers were arrested in 2011 for drunk driving, that is as much as the entire population of Dallas. Everyday on average 28 people die a day drunk driving. In 2012 over 10,322 people died from drunk driving. Almost every 90 seconds someone dies in a drunk driving accident. Also in 2011 226 children died from drunk driving 54% were with the drunk driver.
Two men from New Waverly died when their vehicle crashed into trees off Mt. Zion Road
I know that most people think those statistics wont happen to them. I thought the same thing till my uncle died while drinking and driving it took me by storm I did not believe it when I first heard. The look in my aunts eyes was devastating the man that raised me pretty much, had died the night before after striking two trees dying on impact. At the funeral it was the worst feeling I had ever felt in my life it got even worst when I was holding my two year old cousin, and she told me that her dad was tired and that he needed to sleep. Growing up without a father was horrible but I still got to see him from time to time once every three years, but knowing that her father would never see her graduate was horrible so please do not drink and drive. Statistics may only sound like a number and they are just a number till you become one of those numbers.
