phoebebassick's Space http://phoebebassick.posterous.com Most recent posts at phoebebassick's Space posterous.com Thu, 20 Sep 2012 01:14:07 -0700 Conclusion http://phoebebassick.posterous.com/conclusion http://phoebebassick.posterous.com/conclusion There are no positives about drinking and driving. If you choose to get behind the wheel under the influence of alcohol you put your life and the lives of innocent people at risk.

In today's society young people are much better educated about the risks involved and the consequences. The formation of groups like S.A.D.D helps to spread the message. It is common practise for young people to have a sober driver when driving to parties, and I think many young people are great role models to the older generation.

Wed, 19 Sep 2012 15:44:56 -0700 Introduction http://phoebebassick.posterous.com/introduction http://phoebebassick.posterous.com/introduction Alcohol is one of the most commonly used drugs in New Zealand. While most New Zealanders enjoy alcohol in moderation, there are negative health and social consequences associated with drinking. Negative consequences include hospital admissions, deaths, road accidents and assaults. Drinking problems and dependence on alcohol affect people's lives and the lives of those around them. Drinking patterns vary with gender and age. Alcohol is consumed most commonly in homes, but also in bars and pubs, sports clubs, restaurants and at work. Total alcohol available for consumption has been declining since 1990, though in recent years it has begun to rise again. This is the amount of alcohol that is released onto the market and is available for purchase.

Wed, 19 Sep 2012 01:22:35 -0700 My opinion on drinking and driving: http://phoebebassick.posterous.com/my-opinion-on-drinking-and-driving http://phoebebassick.posterous.com/my-opinion-on-drinking-and-driving I think that drinking while intoxicated is just plain dumb. If you drink and drive you are putting yourself at risk and others. You could have brain damage for the rest of you life or some other body problem. I think that you should elect a sober driver and share that responsibility so that everybody takes a turn at some stage. We have lost family members as a result of an accident caused by a drunk driver. The impact of losing a mother and a brother on my mums 2 cousins was devastating. The 2 girls and there dad survived, but all spent 3 months in Middlemore hospital as a result of the offender choosing to get behind the wheel of his vehicle and drive while drunk.
