I'm going to be smart; I won't drive while buzzed.
Even just one too many drinks can impair my driving and lead to devastating consequences. It's just not worth it. Buzzed driving is drunk driving so I'm going to make sure I make responsible choices that don't endanger myself and others.
When Emily got into her car to drive after drinking with her girlfriends, she never thought her night would end with the flashing lights of a cop car and a DUI. "Never in a million years did I think I would end up in jail," said Emily, "I knew I was a little bit buzzed. I didn't think of the consequences." When she did a field sobriety test, she blew over the limit and was arrested on the spot and taken to jail.
Although Emily chose not to drive while intoxicated for a number of years after her first arrest, she eventually received her second DUI and lost her license for two years. "It was embarrassing to have to tell [my kids' friends'] parents I can't pick them up; I can't take my turn driving to the mall. It was hard on me. It was hard on them."
