Take Heed Combine: The Perils of Drunk Walking

[Bond]

LEVITT: For every mile walked drunk, turns out to be eight times more dangerous than the mile driven drunk. To put it simply, if you need to walk a mile from a party to your home, you’re eight times more likely to die doing that than if you jump behind the wheel and drive your car that same mile.

I never knew it could be so dangerous. Thanks Bond, ill never drink and walk again. Ill just stick behind the wheel cause getting a ticket is better than getting dead.

Why are you advocating drunk driving, Bond?

This is stupid. Just dont drunk walk in the middle of the freeway and you will be fine. These statistics I can assure you take into account the idiots that get drunk then act stupid on the street. Not those that are just walking home drunk on the sidewalk minding their own business.

Just take a fucking cab. Jesus. That's what we're doing tonight.

Depends where you are if that is a feasable option. I know I have had nights where I have tried to get a cab but havent been able to because they are so busy. New years eve is one of those nights.

Who was this study conducted on, where drunk walking is 8 times more dangerous? Astar from the planet Danger?

Too bad you didn't! Imagine the news!

"Boy hit by drunk driver. The boy is said to have been intoxicated while attempting to walk around early into the morning hours. It is that type of reckless walking behavior that put his own life in danger, Police say. Eye-witnesses said the car rode up onto the curb and hit the boy from behind. Sadly, if he had been sober, and more alert, he could have avoided that drunk driver."

My mom's 05 beetle was recently hit by a drunk driver. Good thing it was parked off the side of the road with no one in it. Too bad it wasn't a write off but oh well.

Since range of distance has come up, just thought I'd throw this article about ev battery technology and its progression.
