The simple answer is to not drink and drive, and for ordinary people, which is in order. But with the persons indicted for driving under the influence of alcohol offenses more than 20 years, I know the answer is not that easy.
The true answer is complicated, because alcohol is woven into the fabric of our culture and society. It is a social problem as much as it is a personal one. Most people's perception of the drunk driver is the one who causes of accidents and kill innocent people. This can not only correct, but so painful for the victims of drunken drivers. But when you consider that only 10% of drunk driving are crimes (with injuries), the leaves 1260000 offense DUI arrests each year in the U.S.
Who is the "average" driver drunk? The question was raised again for a simple answer, because if we could be the problem driver then we could "profile" and prevent him from the problems associated with drunk driving. The problem of identification, however, is in question. There is no average drunk driver. Yes, there are more men arrested for drunk driving than women (90% men), and a vast majority of offenders aged 25 to 40 years. But from my own experience offenders are usually "normal" people, hard working, functional, and not unlike most of us. About 70% of adults drink alcohol, and most of those who drink, drink and drive ... legally or not.
If we truly begin to reduce the negative effects of drunk driving is on our society, we need people on the basis of the drink in the first place. We must evaluate how we can moderate the extent to which people consume alcohol (and other drugs) and the alternatives, some of the advantages.
For as long as the history, the activities of the cultures and societies alcohol has less stress and a feeling of wellbeing to people around the world. But today we live in a time that is unique in the history of our planet. Time is accelerating so quickly, the word "relaxation" is only as a goal for the weekend. In 1863 Henry David Thoreau published an article in The Atlantic Monthly (1854 originally a lecture called "What shall it profit"), in which he for the people to "" Let us talk about the way we live . "He discussed how laziness was the work of the devil. Relaxation or the ability to feel is a missing component to what once was an integral part of our lives. In the earlier days of America, it was against social legislation to keep companies on the Sunday, idle days were the law!
Today the use of chemicals for all types of solutions. Take an aspirin, a pill, a drug and you can (and will) feel better. It is not the fault of the commercial and economic interests, it is the responsibility and the responsibility of every one of us: drunk drivers, drink drivers and ordinary drivers (are drowsy, with mobile phone, driver distraction, employed drivers) that we are in the condition we are today.
DUI lawyers have the task of the defense, with drunk driving. But the drivers have to understand their behavior and take responsibility for their own actions. The rule of addiction and recovery is the rule of change. The rule of recovery, so that you can not change until you are ready. This means that you want to change because you have something more than what you're experiencing (in your life, work, marriage, relationships, family, etc). To those who drink and drive or drive while distracted, their fate, then it is the responsibility of society to respond and ensure the "Fall-out of these irresponsible people, by the criminal law and social assistance until they begin to understand that the responsibility of one is the responsibility of all and the responsibility of all is the responsibility of a.
