What do you think is more dangerous in an automobile, an open bottle of alcohol

(drinking) or a lit smartphone screen?

I think using an automobile is more dangerous because when a person is on their

phone they cannot focus on anything other than the phone whereas a person
who has an open bottle of alcohol can focus on driving and wont hit someone as
long as they're not completely drunk. The chances of hitting someone while the
driver is on their phone is high compared to the person who is drinking. Both
using their phone and drinking while their vehicle is in motion is considered
against the law. A person who's using their phone while driving wont have their
eyes on the road which may lead into an accident.
