Drunken driving on new year’s eve can be risky

GREATER KAILASH, India - Jan. 1, 2014 - PRLog -- Medical doctors do not recommend drinking alcohol but those who drink and want to celebrate the new year’s eve with a drink, they should ensure that they do not drive after drinking, said Padma & Dr. B C Roy National Awardee, Dr. K K Aggarwal, President, Heart Care Foundation of India.

One peg of 30 ml of whiskey makes one incapable for driving for one hour. One should not drive for that number of hours equivalent to the number of pegs one has taken. For example, if one has taken 4 pegs, then he should not drive for four hours.

It is the duty of the host to make sure that people who are visiting their house without drivers, give their keys before they are served any peg and not allow them to drive back. A person who is under the influence of alcohol will feel that he can drive with confidence but he will lose his coordination at the time of emergency leading to accidents.
