Crashes involving alcohol and/or drugs are a leading criminal cause of death in Canada. Even one drink of alcohol can reduce your reaction time, blur or double your vision, impair your reflexes, and alter your attention span. Make the right choice for public safety and always drive sober. There’s no excuse.
