Never Drink and Drive.

You must have heard of stories about accidents caused by drunken drivers. It is a fact that alcohol and drugs are substances that when taken in excessive amounts, greatly affect your judgment and reflexes. However, in spite of all the reminders, warnings and advertisements to that effect, many people still choose not to take heed. It is a pity because this is something the individual has total control of.
Incidentally this applies to whatever drink you have. In Australia you are not really supposed to drink a can of coke while driving. If a police car happens to be behind your car and they see you drinking they CAN pull you over and give you a ticket, or at the very least a warning. Why? Simply because you have one hand on the steering wheel and for a few seconds, you may not even be looking at the road. Accidents happen in those few seconds your distracted.
Fortunately for you it is still legal here in Texas to drink a coke while driving and not get a ticket, but of course it is not recommended to hold ANYTHING at all while you are driving.
