11. THINK! Advice:  Time is the only way to get alcohol out of your system.  You could be over the legal limit many hours after your last drink, even if it's the 'morning after'. Sleep, coffee and cold showers don't help to sober you up.  There is no excuse for drink driving.  "I can handle my drink." Alcohol affects everybody's driving for the worse. It creates a feeling of overconfidence, makes judging distance and speed more difficult and slows your reactions so it takes longer to stop.  "I'm only going down the road." A large proportion of all drinking crashes occur within three miles of the start of the journey.  If you're planning to drink alcohol, plan how to get home without driving.  Don't offer an alcoholic drink to someone you know is planning to drive.  Don't accept a lift from a driver you know has drunk alcohol.
