Alcohol is probably the leading cause of preventable death.
- bobthepanda 7y agoIt probably doesn’t help that for the vast majority of America the only feasible way to get home from the bar is to drive. Even in the biggest cities, overnight transit dries up.
- CapricornNoble 7y agoI don't understand why the US doesn't have the equivalent of "daiko service". In Japan they have taxi/Uber services where basically 2 drivers in a small car come pick you AND YOUR CAR up. You ride in your car as a passenger while one guy drives your car, and other guy follows in the taxi. They drop you off at your home with your vehicle. Keeps DUIs manageable (but still not unheard of). Japan also has an essentially zero-tolerance policy for alcohol consumption by drivers. The legal limit is 0.03 BAC, which is the lowest level current devices can detect.
