Drinking & Driving Statistics prompt Narconon Trois-Rivieres to ask: Should Drunk Drivers all go to Alcohol Rehab?
Trois-Rivieres, QC February 02, 2011
Narconon Trois-Rivieres is launching a Drinking and Driving PSA campaign for Canada in order to counter raising statistics of fatal accidents due to impaired driving. Anyone who gets behind the wheel of a car and operates it while intoxicated is risking not only their own life, but many others as well. This is true even if it happens for the first time. All it takes is one time with a drunk driver for someone to get killed. Anyone who is willing to take that chance obviously needs counseling. If nothing else, they need a reality check. Drunk driving takes lives of innocent people, even children. There is no excuse for it. “That’s why we’ve launched our second Drinking and Driving video PSA this week” reports JF Dubreuil of Narconon Trois-Rivieres.
Stop Drinking and Driving
Drunk drivers are taking many dangerous chances every time they get behind the wheel of the car. They disregard not only their own safety, but that of others. This type of thinking is extremely dangerous. They cognitively know the dangers of drunk driving, and yet deny that alcohol affects their own driving. This should be sending up a red flag across the world. Too many people have died because someone drove after consuming alcohol. Letting it happen only once is too many.
Alcohol impairs reaction time and judgment. That is a known fact. Often, because of the effects of the alcohol, the drunken driver survives the accidents, but others aren’t so lucky. It takes only a split second swerving into the wrong lane for disaster to occur. By then, it’s too late. Then, the drunk driver must take responsibility for his or her actions. Too often, they turn, once again to alcohol. There is no such thing as an accidental drunk driving accident.
Alcohol rehab helps people to take responsibility for their actions. Drinking and driving is simply not acceptable and should be reason for treatment of some kind. It is so prevalent that many people do not even blink when someone confesses they were drunk the night before and it is assumed they drove home. That shows how society has silently accepted drunk driving. If someone were drunk and waving around a machine gun, plenty of people would be taking notice. A car is a weapon when in the control of a drunk driver. It’s as simple as that.
Every time someone drives drunk, it gets easier and easier for them to do it. It is only a matter of time before something terrible happens. Obtaining alcohol rehabilitation can very well prevent some innocent person from being injured, or even killed. That alone makes it worthwhile.
Narconon Trois-Rivieres is launching this campaign after a successful Drinking and Driving video PSA run during the Holiday Season: The Narconon Trois-Rivières – Don’t Drink and Drive PSA

Narconon Trois-Rivieres Holidays Message -Please, Don’t Drink and Drive
How often those words are spoken, and yet so many times they are just dismissed. Sadly, it sometimes takes a personal tragedy to make these words seem important. There would, realistically be far less tragedy if people would only heed the words; Please don’t drink and drive. Drinking and driving causes a staggering loss of life, not to mention some life altering injuries.
Holidays and social gatherings go together. If only more people would realize that they can be just as fun, just as joyous, without alcohol. Drunk driving causes more deaths during the holidays than any time throughout the year. No one is more aware of this than Narconon Trois-Rivieres, which has an excellent alcohol rehab program. Sadly, too many people wait until the damage is done to seek treatment. Drinking, drinking and driving, and fatal accidents all go together. Sometimes, the person drinking isn’t even the one driving. Many pedestrians are killed as well while under the influence of alcohol.
Drinking and driving is literally a game of roulette. No one ever thinks they are too impaired to drive when they have been drinking, but the results are devastating. Many times, the survivor, the one who has been drinking and driving, must live with the consequences for the rest of their lives. Taking another human life is not something that anyone takes lightly. Narconon Trois-Rivieres is there to help. Sometimes, just calling and getting straight answers is all someone needs to get help.
“Please, don’t drink and drive”. These are five simple words that can save so very many lives and prevent so many useless deaths. Drinking and driving are a deadly combination. If you do drink, please have someone else drive. Many taxi companies offer free rides home during the holiday season for people who have been drinking. It certainly is worth checking into! Even if you must foot the bill, $20 is a small price to pay to know that lives may have been saved.
Everyone should be on the lookout for those who have been drinking and driving. Devastation can happen in the blink of an eye. It is best to do a lot of defensive driving, especially during the holidays when people are drinking and driving. Don’t let yourself become another statistic. If you drink, don’t drive. If you will be driving, don’t drink. It’s simple, really.
