Somewhere last week I thought I was suffering from a mild case of insomnia. I averaged around 5 hours of sleep for 10 days and was fresh throughout the day - full of energy, ready to party! And then arrived the cure - 6 hours of defensive driving!!! man! That stuff is potent. Apart from all the horrible jokes cracked, I think I did learn a few things which I hope to keep in mind.

They showed some horrifying true stories caused by drunken drivers and it was just sad. Got me thinking - is it worth the risk?? It isn't a cummulative thing, it just needs one bad moment!! Very very scary stuff. I really hope I keep my word on this, I don't want to drive intoxicated anymore.

Also an educative bit was 2 beers or an ounce of pure alcohol takes your body one hour to digest. So if I stick to 2 drinks for the evening and wait it out, I should be in an okay condition to drive. Still not the best of the situations but better than all the risks I have taken.

Did you also know that studies have proven that driving while using a cell phone is as distracting as having blood alcohol level of 0.08%? Yikes. Now that's something I do every single day several times a day!

Bad habits die hard, but need to die, and die they must, if I want to live!!
