Friends don’t help friends who are drunk when they’re drinking a lot
too. Researchers found that a drinker’s perceptions of their
drunkenness was related to the people drinking around them, rather than
the actual amount of alcohol consumed. Drinkers were more likely to
underestimate their own drunkenness when they were surrounded by others
who were also drunk. Source Link
If
the timeout isn’t shutting out bad behavior for your kids, here are
some tips to make it more effective. Try a timeout for just a few types

your anger rise behind the wheel makes it more likely you’ll get into

gestures, can increase the risk of a collision. Highly aggressive
drivers had the same risk of an accident as those who smoked marijuana
behind the wheel. Source Link
