Driving under the influence of anything allows for us to put others and ourselves at risk of permanent injury or death, a conviction of time to be spent in a correctional facility or jailhouse, as well as a negative impact on our own lives, such as our educational or career goals.
When driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or emotional restraints, the amount of attention that we are applying to our current actions decrease.

Alcohol, for example, impairs our vision, or the way we walk, causing us to stumble or trip over things that are not there. When we’re impaired by walking or interacting with those around us, any other action we attempt to perform becomes impaired. We do see certain times someone under impairment does not experience a problem each time they walk or drive a vehicle, and while that is a positive outcome, the danger that one goes through in that situation should be questioned on whether it is worth that large risk. Driving while influenced provides us with a chance to produce long-term damage to ourselves, but even more dangerously are those out there who are enjoying a regular day or night, and have no idea that someone may not be paying attention.
