This document discusses the dangers and consequences of drinking and driving. It notes that in 2002 there were over 81,000 incidents of impaired driving in Canada. University aged students and those aged 19-24 are most at risk, representing over half of impaired driving accidents. The penalties for drinking and driving are severe, including fines, license suspension, and possible jail time. Programs like ignition interlock systems and the work of MADD aim to curb drinking and driving and emphasize that alcohol and driving should never mix due to the risks.
