Drinking and driving should never go in tandem. If you are under the influence of any mind-altering substance, avoid getting behind the wheel and turn to other forms of transportation. Driving while under the influence only makes you more susceptible to danger, as drugs and alcohol can alter your judgment and slow your response rate.
