Facts

Consuming drugs or alcohol prior to driving greatly increases the risk of car accidents, highway injuries, and vehicular deaths; the greater the amount of alcohol consumed, the more likely a person is to be involved in an accident. In 2006, approximately 17, 600 people died in traffic crashes involving alcohol, accounting for more than 40% of all traffic deaths. In that same year, over 1.46 million drivers were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Furthermore, it is estimated that in 2002, Americans took over 159 million driving trips while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Over 11 million people smoked marijuana last month. Many may not have severe marijuana side effects from taking the drug but many people will. Marijuana side effects include physical problems like breathing difficulties and deteriorating physical abilities. Despite a popular belief, marijuana side effects speed up the heart, blood and breathing rate. The body is taxed more and this speeds up the aging process just like methamphetamines do. The marijuana side effects from this extra exertion on the body include a higher risk for lung cancer, heart attacks and strokes.
Barbiturates are also sedative/hypnotic drugs that have been largely, but not totally, replaced by benzodiazepines for medical use because the latter are safer drugs. There are some unique medical uses that are beyond the scope of this paper. Effects are similar to alcohol except that most are longer acting. They can be dangerous when combined with alcohol and there is much more potential for addiction than with benzodiazepines. When addiction and inevitable withdrawal occur, the shorter acting barbiturates like pentobarbital cause more intense and dangerous symptoms while the longer acting ones such as Phenobarbital are excreted slowly and act as their own taper. The withdrawal symptoms are similar to alcohol withdrawal but not as dangerous unless the dosage is high and prolonged.
Chronic alcohol abuse—heavy drinking over a long period—can seriously damage a person's well-being, not only physically but mentally. A chronic drinker may lose the ability to pay attention and concentrate. He or she may become anxious and depressed, and behave in ways that pose risks to health and safety. Long-term heavy drinking can also lead to impaired cognitive abilities. This means that the long-term heavy drinker of alcohol may not be able to think clearly about complex issues or concentrate in order to solve problems. These impairments include: Visual-spatial deficits: difficulties with recognizing actual distances between objects or with depth perception Language (verbal) impairments: confusing or ispronouncing previously known words, or having difficulty expressing ideas Memory impairments (alcoholic amnestic syndrome): the inability to recall words, names, or previously familiar basic ideas. Also a reduced capacity to take in and retain new information Alcoholic dementia (in a small fraction of chronic alcohol abusers): syndrome in which the alcoholic suffers problems in almost every area of thinking, feeling, remembering, and behaving. These impairments may come about because of the harmful lifestyle of alcoholics. For example, the poor eating habits of alcoholics lead to vitamin deficiencies, which can affect mental functioning. Heavy drinkers often suffer from head trauma caused by accidents, falls, and fights. Head injuries can also damage the brain's ability to function normally.
