The Myths Of Driving Drunk

Our world has been bombarded with myths and with legends. Some myths have their own scientific bases however most of them are purely concocted out of the scared and fearing minds of people. And when it comes to driving and drinking, there are also some myths attached to that.Yes, that is yet a myth. The truth is that, one of the major things that alcohol does to you is to actually affect your skills and your coordination. This happens long before you are actually able to see and feel being drunk. You may not yet slur and you may not yet walk in a drunken stupor but your skills and coordination have already been affected by the alcohol.
crashes and accidents on the roads are much higher on the eve of New Year compared to other evenings all year round. In fact, statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (or the NHTSA), for the year 2005, there were about 135 people who have lost their lives because of drunk driving.
According to the myth, the caffeine you would find in your coffee would help you get sober. The coffee would only help you not get drowsy but your coordination would still be off because of the alcohol.
