===Studies have shown it only takes three to four, 12-ounce beers to inebriate a 170 pound male and that an average sized woman can become intoxicated after only one to three of those same beers. These statistics may seem unbelievable, but they are accurate. In one hour, a person can become so disoriented they can cause a terrible crash if they drive. === ===Drunk driving is a major problem that law enforcement is striving to prevent and control. If a person is caught driving drunk, it can result in jail, which results in a criminal record. Most drivers who have had something to drink have low blood alcohol content or concentration (BAC) and few are involved in fatal crashes. On the other hand, while only a few drivers have BACs higher than .15, a much higher proportion of those drivers have fatal crashes. === If a pattern of drunk driving is established, the driver can lose his or her license and employment, and it could affect their personal relationships as well. Don't drink and drive and don't ride with anyone who has too much to drink. Remember, it is usually themselves and their passengers who are harmed by drunk drivers.

//Art returns again to Rego Park to visit his father. Vladek is obsessed with Art finishing everything on his plate, just as he was when Art was a boy. Anja, though, would always eventually give him something he liked. Vladek tells his son that when he was twenty-one, his own father purposefully starved him and kept him deprived of sleep so that he would fail his army physical and not have to join along with the rest of the boys his age. The plan worked, but the army told him to work out for a year and then return. Vladek begged his father not to starve him again, and the next year he joined the army. Basic training was eighteen months, and he returned every four years for another month of training.//

The Jewish prisoners are forced to live outside in tents in the bitter autumn cold and are fed only crusts of bread, while the Polish prisoners stay inside in heated cabins and receive two meals a day. Though it is cold, Vladek goes to the river every morning to bathe so as to keep away the lice that attacked so many of his comrades. To pass the time, he does gymnastics, plays chess, and prays. Vladek wakes up one morning to find a sign requesting workers and advertising good food and accommodation. He volunteers, and when he arrives at the camp, he is given his own bed and a full day to rest. The labor is hard work, literally moving mountains to flatten the terrain, and some men are too weak or old to do it.  //Art's father begins complaining about his relationship with Mala, claiming that everything would be better if Anja were still alive. Mala, he says, is always trying to take his money. Art looks for his coat, and Vladek tells him that he threw it in the garbage outside and that by now the garbage men have probably taken it. "Such an old, shabby coat," he tells his son. "It's a shame my son would wear such a coat."//      What I think I learnd about the book night – hitler went crazy and order that all the jews were to be put in concentration camps and death camps for the very reason that he was a very mean person. The main characters in the book are elie and his father. Elie and his family which is his father, his mother, and his sister were put into cattle cars and shipped off to camps and seperated. elies and his father stayed together and his mom and sister went somewhere else and he never saw them again. Elie and his father were put through straight hell for a very long time and transferred many many time to different camps coming so close to death that they were on the verge of just giving up on life many times but kept right on going until the americans started to destroy all the camps once they started to find out what was happening so they went to put an end to all of it so the ss officers moved all the jews trying to stay ahead of them but eventually they finally caught them and the war was over between the jews and hitler finally.
