Don’t Drink and Drive

Don’t Drink and Drive!

So you heard this phrase again and again. You’ve heard it on the radio and on TV for years.

I took a while to ponder at that phrase and I found that it actually means Don’t DRINK and DRIVE, meaning don’t drink while you’re driving. So this means that you’re encouraged to drink before or after the drive, right? :roll: That’s not nice isn’t it? The people who drunk drive are people who drank BEFORE the drive.

So it would’ve better if it was phrased “Don’t Drink Before Drive”.

While most people know DRINK besides the actual swallowing of liquid, also meant getting drunk but unfortunately not everyone knows that.

Perhaps it would’ve been even better if it was phrased “Don’t Drink Liquor before Driving”. it’s careful sentence with the word LIQUOR to make it damn clear what you’re not supposed to drink. :) Not clear enough? How about “Don’t Drink Alcohol before Driving”.

Come to think of it, “Don’t Drive If You’re Drunk” has got to be the best! It doesn’t matter what you are drunk with.

Lesson? It’s nice to have catchy phrase but sometimes it’s best just to give the meaning straight away.
