Drinking & Driving is a deadly mix. Certain times of the year we especially need to be reminded of this. Drinking alcohol on one’s own time in the comfort of one’s own home is your business. However, if we drink and drive, others can be affected. MADD Canada is one of the best known organizations of it’s kind in Canada. They aim to support people who have been victims of impaired driving and to educate us about the lethal consequences of driving while impaired. Please listen to this podcast, no matter your age, because drinking and driving crosses all age barriers. However, if you know a youth that drives, please especially encourage him or her to listen too. You can save lives.
