If I ever get in a crash with a drunk driver, if I'm still a live I'm going to drag them out of their car and absolutely destroy them. Drunk Driving makes me more mad that just about anything on the planet.

Drunk is worse, high is bad enough though, even though a lot of kids are like I'm sooo good at it.

It is usually stated in an argument like this that alcohol messes you up without you being aware of your state as much. Where as being high is almost as bad but you are more aware that you are messed up allowing you to compensate with better driving or slowing down.

Me too for sure, it is just something i've read in the past about the chemicals at work in your body when your fucked up. Drunk people tend to think they are ok when they get comfortable, but when your high i don't know exactly but your more paranoid/aware of your high state and pay attention more because you are more aware of your state.

I'm not saying you can't tell when your drunk.

I hate to be the one to say it but there was a thread similiar to this recently and somebody posted a vid from top gear I think where they let a guy smoke and drive a course and he actually does better high than sober.(course they only give him one try each way but still)

In my state they can arrest you if you are out of it and take a blood sample, it's the same thing they do if you refuse the breathalizer.

unless your so stoned you can hardly keep your eyes open, it hardly makes a difference for driving. just makes it a little more enjoyable. as for driving drunk, i wont say ive never done it, but thats just plain stupid.

i hate kids who say that. as for drunk driving, nothings worse, it just fucks you up and there isn't a need for it.

driving and skiing high are very similair, very fun.

drunk driving is by far the most dangerous. i'd rather be on some drugs than drunk. i drove on E once and was freaking out cuz my hands kept going numb for like 15 minutes, then my feet would go numb. it was crazy but i was coherant enough to be like 'Guys you gotta watch the road with me i'm rollin' in and out of this shit'. on cocaine i'd be fine, probably better than i am sober. stoned i'd be really safe cuz i always end up driving slow as balls. drunk though i'm always saying 'it's cool man i got it' when i don't. i'll wake up and not remember driving at all and my friends tell me i did fine, but they're shit faced as well....it's a bad habbit i need to stop.


the worst part about gettin' buzzed and driving is the habbits it creates. when you end up drinking too much and black out you don't possess the ability to say i'm shit housed and you will follow those pre-established habits and drive completely wasted. i had a friend that wanted to go to denny's at 4 a.m. and i drove him. i don't remember anything from about 3 hours before that (keg with 8 people and a handle of jack between me & a buddy). i could not believe the kid let me drive...he was much more sober than me. apparently i walked into denny's and up to the only people eating in there and called them all faggots and pushed one of their noses. then had the cops called on me and drove away. unbelievable, i hate myself sometimes.

well at least somebody is telling the truth. I drive after drinking but never smashed, only cause I'm usually the DD for my girl who drinks a lot more than me(and i like driving her car) and I've seen too many people screwed by dui. Still never had a dui and i'm trying to preserve that.

See link above for a review of available literature. If you are lazy -

“Cannabis leads to a more cautious style of driving, [but] it has a negative impact on decision time and trajectory. [However,] this in itself does not mean that drivers under the influence of cannabis represent a traffic safety risk. … Cannabis alone, particularly in low doses, has little effect on the skills involved in automobile driving.”

REFERENCE: Canadian Senate Special Committee on Illegal Drugs. 2002. Cannabis: Summary Report: Our Position for a Canadian Public Policy. Ottawa. Chapter 8: Driving Under the Influence of Cannabis.


… Evidence of impairment from the consumption of cannabis has been reported by studies using laboratory tests, driving simulators and on-road observation. ... Both simulation and road trials generally find that driving behavior shortly after consumption of larger doses of cannabis results in (i) a more cautious driving style; (ii) increased variability in lane position (and headway); and (iii) longer decision times. Whereas these results indicate a 'change' from normal conditions, they do not necessarily reflect 'impairment' in terms of performance effectiveness since few studies report increased accident risk.

both are bad. I hate when people brag about it. Its like, I don't give a shit if you drink, or smoke, or shoot dope but when you get in a car you have a chance of killing an innocent person. One time this kid I knew was bragging to this girl about how he was blazed and drunk and driving around. I felt like saying something like your a fucking idiot but I ddnt. But like if that kid kills a little girl cuz he was drviing drunk ill feel like a fukin idiot

I would say that drunk driving is a lot more dangerous. Driving high, you might get lost, back into a parked car, forget to turn your headlights on whatever, but youre not going to be like, "lets drive 100 in the oncoming lane brah!" Paranoia is your friend

one thing about the brethalizer is that it doesn't take into account people's tolerance, i mean you can blow a .8 and be fine to drive or some people could blow a .4 and be totally trashed, it's all about tolerance, my buddy's mom had a few drinks and sideswiped a police car, she blew a .4 but she was absolutely trashed

I couldnt agree more.

Both put other motorists (such as myself) in danger. Both are completely immature and irresponsible things to do while driving. They pout you, and many others in danger.
