The Dangers of Drunk Driving By Liz Hong Tonight is the Holiday Ball. Despite the chaos of ticket sales that shook the walls of WHS, the dance is sure to be a great time.
Many students choose to celebrate the occasion with a get-together before and a party after.
Both before and after Holiday Ball, one might find themselves with access to alcohol. Due to the security at the Holiday Ball, the majority of students who choose to drink will probably do so after the dance with friends or at a party. The decision to drink can be fatal in itself, but climbing behind the wheel after doing so increases the chance of death or injury by a staggering amount. On an average day, eight young people die in alcohol-related vehicle crashes. Come the weekend, an average of one teenager dies each hour in a car crash.
