Driving under the influfence is not only illegal but highly dangerous. Alcohol impairs a driver's judgment, vision and reaction time thereby making him or her more likely to be involved in a car accident. Cab fare is far more inexpensive than legal fees for a DUI or the medical expenses one could acquire if the accident inflicts personal injuries.
