Safety is an illusion, and while a certain amount of thought about self-preservation is useful, the mass hysteria around this "epidemic" is way out of proportion to the threat.

This is why I drink and drive. I mean, there are so many things I could possibly die from.. getting hit by a bus walking to work, heart attack, murdered by a mugger. Not drinking and driving won't "save me". It would just "save me" from smashing a vehicle into a tree. So instead, I'm going to eat better and exercise more and continue to drink and drive.
