Alcohol vendors take the rap for drunk drivers
Play
Some people believe that business operators selling alcohol are to blame for drunk-driving accidents.
In reality, it’s those who consume alcohol and then decide to get behind the wheel who must take the blame. What if the girl in the recent accident in Chiang Mai consumed alcohol at a friend’s place early that morning?
Time regulations governing the sale of alcohol at only certain times of the day have nothing to do with drunk driving either. If the government wants to get serious about drunk driving, it must tackle the cause by punishing the intoxicated drivers.
