Holidays: a time to celebrate or take precaution
The period between Thanksgiving and New Year's could be the most hazardous course of time for most Americans. The prominent reason for such fatal time period is due to accidents on roads caused because of alcohol consumption. Preparing to adorn houses with lights is not the only thing being planned during the holiday season; celebration is anticipated as well. Parties celebrating the holiday glee often comprise of alcohol intake. It is because of intoxication and debility that people involved in these celebrations act as hazards for themselves and individuals around them. The statistics as of December 2008 show that more than 1000 people die in vehicle crashes during the months of December and January (madd.org). This could be prevented through safety measures such as making designated drivers available at little cost. The punishment for Driving under Influence (DUI) should be strictly put into action by prompting to pay fine, restricting operator's license and even time in prison for all consuming alcohol to an extreme level. For those with alcohol consumption up to an acceptable range above the Blood- Alcohol Concentration level (which varies among different states), amenable penance such as community service and attending DUI classes should be mandatory. If a person still continues to drive inebriated, installment of ignition interlock devices must be compulsory. This device would keep the driver and others on the road safe, by not letting the vehicle start unless a breath analyzer examines low alcohol content in the driver's breath. Prevention is better than cure, and certainly finer than death. Extreme precaution should be taken towards drunk driving, especially during the holidays when commemorating time together with relatives irresponsibly might result in lamenting loss of a loved one.
