A drunken driver is defined as one with 0. 10 blood alcohol 【C3】______ or through three beers, glasses of wine or 【C4】______ of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy dinking used to be a (an) 【C5】______ part of the American macho image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken 【C6】______ Zhas recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, 【C7】______ public opinion is no longer tolerant.

A、epidemic
B、disease
