Never run the engine in a closed space, such as a garage, except for the brief time needed to drive the vehicle in or out of it. .

Alcohol in the bloodstream delays your reaction and impairs your perception, judgment and attentiveness.

In addition, if you are injured in the accident, alcohol may increase the severity of that injury.
