since I am a major clutz and danger prone I wonder if I could get a doctors note saying I am to be under the influence at all times to ward off brain damage? HMMMMMMM

I thought this was old news...
It's pretty common that people who drank and have a car-crash survive with (minor) injuries, while the ones that not drank die or are severely injured...

Seems like a defensible reason to get sauced before getting behind the wheel.

It may sound counterintuitive, but new research suggests that people may be less likely to die following a brain injury if they have been drinking before the accident.
Here's the problem. If you want to survive the accident get pissed before you get behind the wheel. If you want to avoid the accident in the first place, stay sober.

That's quite a dilemna since you can have an accident anytime...

Yes, don't take any chances by getting sober.
