I've never been involved in a car accident thankfully, but I have made some seriously questionable decisions after a few too many drinks. Remember that time I tried to cook after a few beers?

The Dangers of Drinking and Driving
This isn't some preachy lecture, but rather a sharing of hard-learned lessons. Driving under the influence (DUI) isn't just illegal; it's incredibly dangerous. You're not just risking your own life; you're risking the lives of others. Pedestrians, cyclists, other drivers – everyone is at risk. The statistics on alcohol-related accidents are terrifying. I remember reading that alcohol is a factor in a significant percentage of fatal car crashes in Switzerland. These aren't just numbers; these are real people, real families affected by devastating loss.
This accident in Bettwiesen highlights the severe consequences of impaired driving. A young life, potentially irrevocably altered. It's a heavy reminder of the responsibility we all have on the road.
