U: Underage Drinking & Driving


YA Causes/Tough Issues continues with
U: Underage Drinking & Driving

There is a reason the drinking age is 21. Many lives have been saved as a result, according to MADD statistics. But if you are going to drink before reaching your 21st birthday, always ALWAYS have a designated driver.

Today’s song: Trashed by Black Sabbath



Watched me climb into my car and
I was going down the track about a hundred and five
They had the stop watch rolling
I had the headlights blazing I was really alive
And yet my mind was blowing
I drank a bottle of tequila and I feel real good
I had the tape deck roaring
But on the twenty-fifth lap at the canal turn
I went off exploring

  1. Maybe it should be 21 in the UK considering how many 18-year-olds we've had crashed their cars after legally drinking...

  4. This is ONE subject that TRULY needs to be STRESSED and often. Sadly it's always the person the drunk driver hits who dies or crippled. The driver most of the time walks away clean. BUT they have to live with the guilt of killing someone.

    NO ONE WINS.... all this just for a high... One can still have a great time without getting stupidly drunk.
