When I was a little kid, I heard PSAs and that about "drinking and driving". The phrase wasn't too specific, and I didn't understand the alcohol element to it. One day, after hearing an especially scary warning, I started screaming at my mother and refused to get into her car because she was bringing with her a can of diet soda. Oops!
A childhood belief about cars

you weren't the only one
80 of you believed this
- I used to belive that it was Illeagal to drink ANY beverage while driving, not just alcohol.— Emma*
- I used to think that the dangers of drinking and driving included soda, juice, milk, or water.— Rick
- Don't drink and drive! Literally. I would fuss at the driver if they had so much as a coke in their hand.
