Cause and Effect

Drinking is a big issue in the United States today. There may be many different reasons why people drink, but most of the effects are similar to each other. One of the larger issues about drinking is when people decided to drive. One may say the cause and effect of drunk driving is a negative outcome.
Drunk driving is only caused by people who decide to drink. Many people are responsible while drinking; however others who are careless may endanger lives all around them. Those who are having cocktails to enjoy themselves and socialize with family and friends are usually the ones who are responsible. They plan on having a safe ride home from wherever they are at. Otherwise they may just have a couple drinks within a few hours and be legally under the limit to drive home. That is if they are over twenty-one.
On the other hand the effect of drunk driving can scar a person for life. People who drink in order to take away their pain, or forget about a broken heart are not thinking clearly and take a big risk at hurting others. When they get behind the wheel to drive home from the bar or where ever they may be, not only is their life in danger, but the lives out on the streets are also at great risk. The effect could be a tragic lose of a loved one whom was an innocent pedestrian walking on the sidewalk.
Although many people’s cause to have a fun time is drinking, they should know what effects can come out of driving when intoxicated.
