We're not talking slight emotional distress. Do you really think that, at age 17, if you were told your best friend or your boyfriend was killed, it would be "a little emotional distress?"

The core problem with the prevention of drinking and driving is that, when you're drunk, you're not making good decisions and you don't have good judgment. EVERYBODY knows you shouldn't drink and drive and most people know someone who has died as a result of someone drinking and driving. Yet, when someone is a little too drunk to be driving, they usually believe that they are fine and don't think they are too drunk to drive. Therefore, no matter what they've experienced in the past (whether it's a fake death or a real one), it's not going to matter!
