Drunk Driving
Should drunk drivers have their licenses taken for year?
I do believe that their licenses should be taken away.
One year would allow them to sober up and to think about what their doing before they do it the next time.
Teenage Drunk Driving

The science behind it
Most of the alcohol that is consumed is absorbed through the bloodstream and it circulates through the body. When the amount of alcohol in the blood exceeds a certain limit the respiratory system slows down and might cause a coma or even death because oxygen is no longer reaching the brain.
What is happening about it.
Traffic stops where law enforcement officers assess drivers’ level of alcohol impairment. These checkpoints consistently reduce alcohol-related crashes, typically by 9%.
