I ask this question because their are a lot of people who drink and drive all the time and never get caught. Will you ever change your bad habits? Or do you truly believe alcohol doesn't affect your ability to drive? We are quick to judge other people who are slammed on TV for a DUI arrest? Seriously, do you ever try and stop your friends from driving drunk? Hide their keys? Call someone to pick them up? Call a cab?
I'm not saying you can't party your butt off and have a good time but what plans do you make to get home safe?

Far too many ppl I know did this so I started a different kind of party. When ppl come to my house for a party, keys are left in a bowl...the bowl is placed in my safe....and the safe doesnt open til morning...if you come to my house for a party, you'd better plan on staying the night.

You want honest and you will get it. I used to drink and drive ALOT. Every weekend. I did this from the time I was 21 until about a year ago (i'm 29 now). I would feel bad about doing it, then go right out and do it again. My hubby and I both drank way too much and now we have a sober house. I don't judge others, cuz it could have been me hitting an innocent person. There was one time that I didn't remember driving home. That was scary. We finally stopped going out to bars and just did our drinking at home with neighborhood friends. Then we stopped drinking altogether. We have a much better time now.
Here is a trick for friends, have everyone meet at someones house. Then you all take a cab to and from the bar together. Everyone chips in and then crashes at the designated house. We did this alot and it was fun to go home and drink some more with friends.

I KNOW alot of the problem is that most people do NOT understand how much alcohol is takes to blow over the limit. Most people think they have to feel pretty drunk to not be bale to drive when the truth is it only takes 2-3 drinks for women and 4 for men to blow over the limit. They might not even think they have a buzz, but according to the law, they are driving drunk. Furthermore, it takes a full hour for one drink to go out of your system. So if you had 3 drinks you have to wait 3 hours to considered sober again. They teach you all this in classes they make you take when you get a DWI, but if only they could educate people BEFORE they THINK they are ok to drive.

In the beyond cops used to get extra breaks than others. In my small the city developing up, the police used to take humans residence in the event that they had been too under the influence of alcohol to force. In the ninety's I used to widespread a situation in which prosecutors and police normally drank. I might see them drink particularly just a little after which force residence. Today I believe officials will on the whole arrest different officials for DUI. If there's a near name, the officer would possibly get a holiday earlier than you or I might but when she or he is stumbling out of the automobile, there can be an arrest. Cameras within the automobile additionally prohibit an officials discretion. The fact is, there are plenty of humans who drink and force and not ever get stuck. We have got to re-believe our method to ingesting and riding. How in many instances do those who get stuck dedicate the offense earlier than being arrested? I recognise ONE individual that used to be arrested the primary time she drank and drove.

I started drinking 30 years ago, I was 15. I drank and drove always for years. 5 years ago I decided I did not want to die or especially kill someone else, I have not driven drunk once since then. it took to long for me to wake up and smell the roses I was lucky I didn`t hurt anybody.

Way too many when I was in high school and college. Now when I go out my wife drives because she doesn't drink.
I also got a DUI when I was in college too.

My answer is.... Never. But then, I am a Christian and do not drink and don't hang out where people drink or with drinkers. Can't stand a drunk.
