DRINK IS NOT MEANT FOR KINGS

Drinking can make a king act as a fool and irresponsibly. If you want to be a king in your own world, abstain from drinking! Some say drink in moderation but most people do not know their limit and the sad thing about drinking is that it has a side effect on ones health and the disgraceful thing about it is that when you get drunk, you are likely to behave worst than this teenager in the story below.

For your dreams to come true, do not involve yourself in acts that are irresponsible or that can wreck your life or that of your neighbour.

This is the time to work on yourself so that you would not end up in regrets. There is a beautiful part to life when people begin to live right and engage in doing the right things (affecting other lives positively).

You are created to be like God, God is our heavenly father and He does the right things. Begin to act like your father today and live responsibly so that your neighbours can be affected positively.

Read the story and imagine how different it would have been for the two lives had this teenager not got drunk before driving.

 

Teenage driver drunk on rosé left man unable to walk

Lauren Blanning’s ‘stupidity’ wrecked Stephen Isaacs’ life, Judge Michael Roach said (Picture: SWNS)

A judge lamented the ‘stupidity’ of a young motorist who left a man without the use of his legs after downing a bottle of rosé and getting behind the wheel of her car.

Lauren Blanning, 19, was almost twice the legal drink-drive limit when she drove a group of friends home from a party, pulling into the path of motorcyclist Stephen Isaacs, 49, who was thrown more than 60 feet down the road by the impact.

And Judge Michael Roach, sentencing, said Blanning’s ‘stupidity’ had wrecked the life of Mr Isaacs, who has been in hospital for almost a year with severe pelvic injuries.

‘You are now before the court for something which has devastated somebody else’s life,’ said Judge Roach.

‘Nothing I can say can restore his good health.

‘Nothing I can say can restore anything he and others had to suffer through your stupidity.’

Mr Isaacs, who attended the hearing in his battery-powered wheelchair, called the sentence ‘totally unsubstantial’ and said Blanning ‘put the tears on on cue’.

‘I think they are crocodile tears,’ he said.

‘I think it’s more about feeling sorry for herself.’

The court heard how Blanning, who only passed her test three months before the incident, had driven back from the Greyhound Pub in Fishponds, Bristol, at around 1am on 31 May 2014.

After the crash, Blanning called her mother in ‘desperation, panic and shock’.

Mr Isaacs was brought back to life on the operating table by ‘aggressive resuscitation’ and lost so much blood he received 60 pints in 48 hours.
