There’s No Excuse for Driving Drunk
* Re “Infant Victim of Hit-and-Run Dies of Injuries” (Dec. 23):
Enough! I recently attended Orange County’s Mothers Against Drunk Driving awards luncheon, honoring police officers and district attorneys who actively arrest and prosecute drunk drivers.
I was overwhelmed by the number of people whose lives have been impacted by other people who choose to drive a vehicle after drinking alcoholic beverages.
The accidents that kill children, families and friends caused by drunk drivers are 100% preventable.
We have to tell our friends and co-workers that it is not OK to drink and drive.
There are so many ways to drink responsibly. There is no need to drink and drive.
No more mothers and babies dying because of stupidity, please!
