Just in case you got the idea that women are adults who can, on occasion have a drink and remain responsible adults like every other adult in a bar enjoying a cocktail with friends. Statistics step in, letting us know women + cars + alcohol = danger.
The study, not of mothers in particular but we all know how irresponsible mothers are as drivers even without alcohol, says young women between the age of 16 and 24 are rapidly catching up to young men as dangerous drunk drivers. The number of fatal accidents involving young women drunk behind the wheel has increased at the same rate as that of young men, so that young women are still involved in 13% fewer fatal drunk driving accidents than men but are increasingly being as stupid about drinking and driving as their male counterparts.
Best part of this article: the comments which blame cell phones and feminism for this "disturbing" trend. I'd like to suggest a new study titled: "Surprise! Alcohol and poor judgment go together if you have a penis or a vagina!"
