Driving while under the influence can make you more susceptible to causing harm to others on the road. If you are impaired due to alcohol or drugs, do not get behind the wheel. It is best to contact a trusted friend or a Rideshare service to bring you home. Because drugs and alcohol can alter your state of mind and compromise your judgment, car accidents become more likely to happen.
