What were you thinking?? Or maybe you weren't thinking at all....
I will confess that years ago I did occasionally drive drunk but that was before all those public service announcements and all. To me driving drunk wasn't wrong, it just meant I had to pay extra attention to my driving. I know that sounds really lame but that's the way it was. I just thank God that I and others I could have maimed made it home okay.

legally drunk is proper terminology, i.e. in this excerpt I got online:
calls are now being heard on Capitol Hill to force states to lower the blood-alcohol level at which a driver would be deemed legally drunk.

Yes, I knew it was wrong and always thought I could handle it by being extra careful. Wrong. Fortunately I finally got arrested (do you know that most people who get pulled over for drunk driving have been doing it for a very long time?) and that was enough to shock me out of it. I got lucky that my name didn't get in the paper, but I had to tell my boss b/c I had a company car, and I wanted to tell a lot of other people to warn them it could happen to them, but preferred to save my reputation. I rarely drink now unless I'm at home, though in the mandatory alcohol abuse class that was part of my sentence the counselor asked a really good question: What if you are at home, drunk, and your wife calls you because her car is broken down? Or your child gets hurt and you have to take her to the hospital? So I've really thought about how much I drink, even at home, and cut back.
You would ask this question after I've had three beers this afternoon. Now I'm feeling all guilty.

Nope. I have enough common sense not to. A friend of mine was killed last year in a car accident. The driver was drunk. She was thrown from the backseat and ended up being decapitated. Does that sound like something you would want to risk? I think drunk drivers are the most selfish people on earth. What would you do if you wrecked and injured or killed someone in the process? I'm very glad that you quit doing it.

I drive legally all the time. I have a drivers license, auto insurance, and my car is licensed. But I don't think you can drive legally and be drunk. That would be illegal in the United States (not sure about other countries though)

Remember this through your life. In some States legally drunk is two beers in an hour. My wife collapsed at a funeral she drank three beers she does not drive and has never driven in her life. She was told she was legally drunk. what a sad society we live in.

wager what. that comparable argument replaced into used to offer 18 year olds the vote in 1971. Many states diminished their ingesting age from 21 to verify. yet then the 18 year olds did no longer vote lots. they only have been given inebriated and killed themselves and others in automobile injuries at an alarming fee. So in 1984, Reagan raised the ingesting age to 21 and it is not going back to 18, via fact the 18 to 21 year olds are too inebriated and severe and politically unorganized. via fact of this. In Texas, and a variety of of alternative different states it replaced into criminal to drink on a similar time as driving, just to no longer be inebriated on a similar time as driving.

i was 18 in the military in Germany so it was legal to drink. every Friday we had a shop party then we had to get home. it was stupid, i never got caught or had an accident but i was still stupid. since returning to the states i found American beer so weak it was not worth drinking so i quit drinking in 1990 when i came back. now 1 beer and i am drunk but i still do not drink.
