Driving under the influence

Driving under the influence means that you are driving while you are affected by drugs or alcohol. When you drink alcohol or take drugs, it can slow down your brain's ability to think clearly and make decisions. That's why it's against the law to drive when you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. It is dangerous because it is hard to stay in your lane, pay attention to the road and drive safely.
