I used to live way outside of town and there werenât any night buses on weekdays, so I got a moped at 15. I just didnât drink at all when I hung out with friends on weekdays, even when I turned 16 and it became legal, because I had to drive. It wasnât hard to do and nobody batted an eye. So, the alternative is not drinking. Having no alternative transport is a poor excuse for drunk driving.

This.
Drinking is not a requirement. And if it is, you need better friends.

When I suggest taking drivers licenses away, my fellow Americans act like Iâm suggesting the death penalty.
