Drunk driving is illegal, unsafe and highly irresponsible, especially if children are in the car with the drunk driver. Alcohol reduces ones judgment as well as impairs a person’s visions and other senses. Children require constant care and supervision. Consuming alcohol while attending to the needs of a child will only negatively affect one’s capabilities to properly care for and supervise the child.
