2. Last year but one...2012. A guy we were in campus with...was working for KCB. They are so drunk, driving along Mombasa road. Kufika Nyayo, they forgot kuna round-about. Drove on top of it. Car crushed. Lives crushed.
3. Mid last year, July specifically. A friend from Nyeri. Guys quite drunk. They decide to road test a new Subaru. Drives along valley road, takes a turn at the Kenyatta avenue round about n drives upwards towards hurlingam. Just at the round about near Total, they forgot to break, hit a car that was already on the round about. Guys rushed to Nairobi hospital. Few days later, the guy is dead...
Those r guys I knew personally. Very young n promising lives lost. There are many more such sad stories. They had driven b4 when drunk but these were just days they either took slightly more, or they were tired, or whatever. Only them could tell the tale, but its too late. Dead gives no stories. If only alcoblow had come, maybe they could have feared on those specific nights n they wud still be with us.
About Govt n EABL, they better have you drink a few bottles n drink for long, than drink 20 bottles n drink for your final night. Your longer live would make more business sense to them.
One more challenge is that you may be OK risking your live like that, but on the way yu hit n kill or maim an innocent guy who was just driving safely. Why now?
Don't drink when drunk. Its not fair to either you or other road users.  nuff said mblo! Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

Karibu bro @magigi. I recommend a sprite or home made bone soup with herbs. My favourite drinks. You shall not regret it....especially if you keep that cash u wud ve wasted, killing yourselve slowly, aside n check.it up in a yrs time. You might even buy wazuans a mbuzi in jan 2015.

If you're pals with Magigi, look for him this month. His pockets will be very heavy. I have the same problem. Even afraid of going to the local coz I have an unseasonably heavy wallet!
Maybe it's time for another Mbuzi to lighten some pockets ;)

Don't drink when drunk. Its not fair to either you or other road users. Am talking of major road accidents..Are they caused by drunk drivers? Mahi Mahiu accident and the rest. If a guy finds himself on top of Nyayo roadabout he should pay the 'beauticians' of that roundabout, even when he is dead!

Just yesterday,a young man known to me veered of the road with his dad's SUV.Knocked down two pedestrians while the vehicle proceeded and crushed into a tree.One elderly pedestrian died in hospital hours later.His son has a bad spine and will probably never walk again.The young driver and his friend are in bad shape. You can imagine the agony of the two families.A Life cut short and dreams shattered.Here is what i say.Anything that will stop deaths on our roads.Any test,even if it means kissing the *ss of a donkey,let's have it! Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Pole...We are talking of responsible drinking. If the father gave him the SUV, he should be sued for aiding the young man to die.
