<p>Another sad story I want to share with you:</p>
<p>A childhood friend had come to the U.S. to study, he graduated with honors & was about to go home that summer. One Saturday night he went out late at night to meet some friends at a club. He never made it. 2 days later, the police called asking for the next of kin. There was no next of kin & we were the closest. We called his mom who made that 16+ hour flight to the U.S. to see his son in the morgue. According to the police, he was driving on an undivided highway, the driver that hit him was drunk with a bottle of champaign still in his car. That driver survived but not my friend. At the time, my friend was driving a little Chevette while the drunk driver drove a tank-like Catalina (70s). </p>
<p>I hope more people will think of the consequences before they drink, & if you do drink, find someone who doesn’t drink to be the driver. Friday & Saturday nights seem to be the more dangerous time to be on the road as more people tend to get drunk on those 2 nights, so your chances of running into drunk drivers are higher. I have avoided going out on Friday & Saturday nights all together.</p>
