"I knew this guy who…
... decided one night to escape his so called problems by going to a club and drink. He binged on tequila, his friends tried to stop him but he just ignored them. This guy's friends tried to drive him home, but his ignorance said no. He got behind the wheel, before he knew it there where flashing lights all around a paramedic at his door. Flown to the hospital he was screaming what did I do, finally a doctor told him 'you killed a young girl.'
The guy would find out that the young girl had just turned 18 two days prior, graduated the highest ranking JROTC cadet from her school, and had a full scholarship to college. The guy would lose his arm, and face multiple charges to include homicide w/ a motor vehicle, homicide w/ a motor vehicle while impaired, DUI, manslaughter with a motor vehicle and many others.

Now when he looks in the mirror all he thinks about is how his decision to drink and drive took a beautiful life and caused so much pain to her family and friends.
That guy is me. I share this in the hopes that who read this will make better choices than I."
