Thinking, reasoning, and muscle coordination are essential in operating a vehicle safely. However, alcohol, certain medications, or illegal drugs impair these functions. Never drive while impaired, as the consequences can be devastating for you and others. When buzzed or drunk, requesting an Uber, Lyft, or a taxi is best. By doing so, you can help keep yourself and others around you safe.
