respond to changing conditions and
emergencies and your reaction time
gets worse with each additional drink.

of drugs is as dangerous as or more
dangerous than driving under the
influence of alcohol.
You are much more likely to have a
serious accident if you drink or take
drugs and drive. If you are drinking or
