donde todos esta bebiendo hasta el momento del accidente

I believe that 0.08 BAC is legally under the influence now.

Anyway, since Sid didn't could only really give one piece of advice (Don't drink and drive) he spent the time giving various examples and statistics. While boring now, I'm sure at the time it was highly necessary to forcefully get across that you're unsafe, not drunk.

A local sheriff's deputy killed himself last night when his his SUV hit a pole, flipped, and burst into flames. The coroner said that the cop was twice the legal limit. I don't like to be on the road at Christmas time and after this accident one can't even trust the cops.

This film like most on here is still relevant today even though it might appear long outdated with style and dress. In this film a teenager who has been drinking hits a mother and daughter (killing the daughter and crippling the mom). He is given a roadside sobriety test by blowing into a ballon. I assume that back in these days they took the ballon back into a lab to process the results (unlike todays instantaneous breathalizer devices). Also way back when you bad to measure .15% Blood Alcohol Content to be convicted of a DUI (more than twice the legal limit of most states today). On a somewhat unrelated note: That is one of the things that surprises me about our current President Bush's DUI conviction back in the early 1970's, he had to really be smashed to be convicted back in those days.

This sobering film is interesting to watch. The early 60's scenery is neat, especially the teen beer party. There is the usual scientific demonstration of why we get loaded when we drink too much, and also what appears to be footage of a real car accident. The narrator has no sympathy for Bill, the driver of the car that has ran over a mother and daughter. The message is as valid today as it was back then, that alcohol and gasoline don't mix. The movie does, however, imply that it's okay to have one an hour. Neat to watch.

Pretty classic Sid Davis scare film has it all, foolish teenagers, a tern narrator, and of course, racks and racks of guilt. We somewhat follow Bill. who had a couple of beers and then goes driving with his girl, he hits a mother and a girl. Inbetween the story, we are shown what happens to alcohol once it enters the human body and some nice actual crash scenes. But man oh man, poor Bill, not only does he have to do the 'blow this balloon up' test which I've never seen, or having to deal with the death of the young girl 'for the rest of your life', but you have the most guilt-rodden, angst building, condenscending narrator just about to spit on you. Highly Reccomended!

Bill has a few too many "beach party beers" before driving, and ends up running over a woman and her little girl, killing the girl and paralyzing the woman for life. His punishment: he is relentlessly harangued by Sid Davis' narrator for the rest of the film. Fortunately, he doesn't have to watch any gory footage, but then, he's only 18.
