How does drinking and driving affect other drivers?
I’ve never tried it but I’ve seen a few TV shows where the characters are drinking a beer while driving. What are the consequences of drinking and driving?

Drinking and driving affects others because it impairs your judgment and reduces your concentration, which can make you more prone to causing an accident. Not only does it pose a safety risk for you and others on the road, but if you get caught, you could also be subject to a
drunk driving
and/or reckless driving charge.So remember, drinking and driving is an absolute no-no. Anytime you choose to drink, be sure to have a plan in place to get home—like a designated driver, taxi, or rideshare, such as Uber or Lyft.
Unfortunately, drinking and driving is all too common. Protect yourself and your vehicle with great car insurance.
