I know this will be REALLY unpopular, but... Don't drink! You don't need alcohol to have a good time. How many accidents, deaths, and family problems involve people being intoxicated?

Starting to think this is becoming yet another dumb ass tic tok challenge. Get drunk, get stupid and drive, then park you car in a canal just to wash the piss out of your pants from not being able to hold every drink you drank.
