Impairment is not reliant upon the type of alcohol consumed, rather the number of drinks over a certain period of time. Despite myths and misconceptions, coffee, a cold shower, or exercise will not make a person more sober; only time will. Mainly on average, an impaired driver will drive 80 times under the influence before their first arrest. Every 53 minutes in America, a life is lost in a drunken driving collision; that is around 27 people every day. As well as every 90 seconds, someone is injured from a drunk driving incident. In 2011, 9,878 people were victims of drunk drivers. 211 children were killed in drunk driving crashes in 2010. Of those 211 children, 62 percent were riding in the car with the impaired driver. Driving while impaired comes from drinking an amount of alcohol that is over the legal limit. Some forms of drinking and driving could occur from some social environments for example if you’re friends encourage you to drink and you not realizing how much you have had to drink go in a car and drive its not entirely your fault you’re judgment was impaired at the time.

...In my community drinking and driving has become a big issue. Many people drink and drive every weekend. People have to know that it is wrong, so why do people do it? There are many ways that accidents can be prevented from drinking and driving. We just need to think of ways that will stop people from drinking and driving and have an alternative for them to turn to. Caroline county is a small town with nothing to do. People have to drive thirty minutes at least out of their way just to keep themselves entertained. One option that we can do to stop people from drinking and driving would be to build a movie theater, everyone loves the movies. The movie theater would be a place for families, kids and teenagers to go, even a place for couples to go on dates. This would stop people from going to parties more and from drinking and driving. Another option could be a shopping outlet. It is something fun to do and everyone loves new clothes. The outlets could be open until eleven o’clock so then it would be too late for people to go out and drink. In the outlets there could be restaurants, nail places, clay bakers and an arcade so everything that a person needed would be right there in one spot. If we had a bowling alley in our community than people could get a group of friends together and be able to go midnight bowling. This would keep people from drinking and going to parties later. They could make just a teens night at the bowling alley and just an adults night. That way teenagers...

The lower priced alcohol creates a temptation to indulge in it. Can you think of all the reasons of all the reasons of why you drink? In my opinion, the causes of people drinking are; being socially pressured: dealing with stress, and because of social circumstances. First, people can be pressured to drink?

...Starbucks Case Study 1. Based on the case information and personal experiences, list at least five things that you know about Starbucks. This list offers you some idea about your cognitions concerning the coffee shop chain. After reading the case information, I have a greater amount of knowledge about Starbucks as a business aside from my personal experiences as a customer. I am a regular at my local Starbucks and feel that this company does attempt to cater to their customers. Specifically from reading the case study, I know that Starbucks is a fortune 500 company since 2003. The company has expanded to over 14,000 stores worldwide including multiple locations within popular cities such as New York and San Francisco (Peter and Olson, 2010, p. 32). Starbucks is trying to expand internationally and are trying to have 500 stores operating in Asia. In China only, Starbucks outlets have increased from 8 in 1999 to just less than 70 today (Starbucks-taking on the world, p. 13). Starbucks is expanding in order to develop sight recognition for customers in order to persuade customers into thinking Starbucks is a great product, offered in many locations, and everyone is drinking it. Each additional store only adds to the chances of more people seeing their store and also remembering Starbucks every time you want a coffee. Another thing I know is that Starbucks has recently attempted to gain food sales as they have begun to sell hot sandwiches, bakery items, and other...

There is something you should know about driving under the influence. One of out every three Americans on the road has been involved in an alcohol related car crash sometime in their life time.

I’m very interest to learn more about the effects of driving under the influence on teenagers and adults. Most people who drive under the influence don’t actually realize the harm they can actually cause until the minute after the accident has happened. Most drunk driving incidents can be avoided with just a simple phone call.

For example, “In 2013, a total of 1,149 children fourteen and younger were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes. Of those 1,149 fatalities, 200 (17%) occurred in alcohol-impaired driving crashes.

...Applying Problem Solving PHL/251 October 21, 2010 Rape Precautions: * Never go out alone; always bring someone you know you can truly trust * Watch your drinks closely all night and drink wisely * Stay aware of your surroundings * Don’t show fear * Trust your gut instinct at all times The Problem: I went out to a club with someone I thought I can trust, but later found out she wasn’t someone I can truly trust. I was out having a great time drinking and dancing. I allowed these two guys to continue buying me drinks all night long. I don’t remember much about that night after the drinks, but I do have some vague memories. I know for a fact that the female that I went to the club with let me leave the bar with these two guys, and that they took me to another bar. I was too drunk to drive, and I didn’t know where I was at. They continued to give me more drinks until I blacked out. From there I only remember waking up in a strange place, and when I stood up I was in so much pain that I knew something was wrong. Then I laid back down and passed out again. I don’t remember how I got home, but I did. Observation: There are many times when women do not realize that someone is putting drugs in their drinks.
