The article that I read is called 'Alcohol Driving'. It is an article filled with facts about what can happen when you drink and drive, whats a BAC and what affects it, and what happens to you mentally when you are drinking and driving. I now know that every two minutes someone is injured by a drunk driver.  The article then tells you what a BAC is and also tells you that alcohol is quickly absorbed and can be measured within 30 to 70 minutes after a drink. It also has information about how your BAC can be affected by the number of drinks, how fast you drink, your gender, your weight, and also if you have food in your stomach. It even has ways to reduce your BAC. The article lists everything that happens to you when you are the drunk driver. It talks about your Reaction Time, Vision, Poor Judgment, Comprehension, Coordination, and False sense of confidence. It then ends it all off with solutions to this problem. Designated drivers, Public transportation, Prior arrangements to stay overnight, and Calling someone to pick you up are all ways to prevent drunk driving.

Now that I have read the article, I now know more than I did about drinking and driving and now I can back myself up by these facts and many more. I can use this article on my presentation and my proposal because these facts are helpful things to know about drunk driving and everyone should know them.
