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

BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca 1 day agoProbably also doesn't hurt that the US is generally far more reliant on driving to get anywhere. There's a higher tolerance for doing it dangerously since there's no alternative

I used to live way outside of town and there weren’t any night buses on weekdays, so I got a moped at 15. I just didn’t 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 wasn’t 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.

What are we supposed to do?? NOT DRINK?
