Some people think the best parties are the ones they can’t remember

A lot of people who drink have been drunk at least once in their lives. They drink like a fool, so they can have the confidence to be one. It’s that kind of thinking that helps cause approximately 40% of all traffic deaths in this country.

It’s high time we told these people they’re wrong.

We believe that if enough people talk about the problems, we’re that much closer to solving them.
