The
School SADD group is here to help
people understand how dangerous it is to drink and drive. Lots of
highschool students are being pressured by their friends to drink,
which usually leads to drinking and driving. Younger kids don't
understand how dangerous and risky it is to drink and drive. When
people
drink it slows down their nervous system. This causes a decrease in
motor
functions, reaction time and their intelligence performance. When
people
drink too much alcohol they can cause their body to go into a coma or
even
die from it. That's why it's important not to drink and not to drive if
you have been drinking.
People usually underestimate how much they drink

Knowing your Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) is important to understanding how your body works and the danger zones of alcochol poisoning. Driving when you have had any alcohol is really dangerous. Those who drink and drive not only risk endangering themselves. They also endanger innocent bystanders who are also on the roadways.
