In the majority of cases, drivers are taken their driving license because of the consumption of alcohol while driving. I have always promised myself that I will never drive if I have consumed alcohol previously, no matter the quantity.

Still, half a year ago I made this terrible mistake to drive after having drunk two beers in the house of a friend, while watching a football match. I then took my car to take another friend to this place, which wasn't quite far away. I thought that it was no problem to take him home, because it was at night and I believed that there would be no policeman on my way. But, to my surprise, police stopped me when I least expected that to happen. I was left without my driving license for three months and I also had to pay a fine. I told m y parents nothing at the beginning, but then I had to invent a lie, because I did not have the courage to tell them that I had drunk alcohol and that was the real reason for which I was left without my driving license.

Those three months seemed to pass very slowly for me, because I was used to drive almost daily and I really needed my car quite often. I had to use the taxi and I didn't like it as I spent lots of money. Then, there were times when I asked a friend to take me to some place or another, especially out of town. It was, indeed, a punishment for me not to have my driving license and I promised myself not to repeat this mistake again.

Apart from this, being drunk while driving represents a real danger not only for the driver, but also for the persons who may be in the car and for the persons on the street or in other cars, too. Car accidents caused by alcoholism are very frequently nowadays, because many drivers make this mistake. Teenagers especially use alcohol while going out with friends and then return home driving their cars. They are very irresponsible as they put their lives and health in danger and, therefore, I advise people to avoid drinking alcohol when driving.
