UNDER THE INFLUENCE

All drunken drivers are a threat
        to others and themselves, and yet,
there's overwhelming evidence
        to show that most car accidents
are caused by social drinkers who
        have had no more than one or two!
Contrary to what some fools think,
        it's dangerous to take a drink
before you get behind the wheel,
        because one drink can make you feel
that you're completely in control.
        but that one drink can take its toll
on your reaction time and make
        you take some risks your shouldn't take,
like speeding through a yellow light,
        or passing someone on the right.
So many people drink these days,
        that they'll not likely change their ways.
There's nothing wrong, most would agree,
        with someone's drinking socially.
The problem isn't what they think;
        the problem is, they drive and drink!
