| | + | ==Drinking and Driving== |
| | + | Due to the disabilities caused by excessive drinking, laws have been passed requiring that a persons Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) be below a certain percentage. In the United States, drivers with BAC levels higher than the legal limit are charged with either [[driving while intoxicated]] (DWI) or driving under the influence (DUI) depending on the state. Drunk drivers lead to the deaths of many innocent people each year. |
