Granted, drunk drivers need to be stopped, but... there are just things you shouldn't try to do for yourself, yanno?

I will never understand what part of don't drink and drive people have a problem with.....I like having a license. I like living. I like knowing I've never taken a life (and have memory of this). I love my mixers and jiggers, and an ocassional beer, but ONLY if I am home for the rest of the day...my kids are with ME, and I know I've got everything I need to cook supper! No drinking and driving, not even after one. It is a very selfish thing to do. You may not care of your safety, but what about others? That idiot got exactly what he deserved. At least he only hurt himself.

Darn...the car should have ran him over two more times so everyone can say it was the officers fault and should not tried to pull him over - after all, he know's his rights and he was'nt "doing anything wrong." He was just out driving and minding his own business right??

sad situation because it could have been prevented. People that get that drunk just show their lack of respect for themselves and everyone they love. I don't have sympathy for this guy. I'm just glad he did not cause more damage than he did before he was arrested

Thank goodness he did not hit those other car's... that would have been a disaster!

Unfortunately the lord looks out for drunks and fools, or else I would not have lost one nights sleep if the truck would have used his head for a speed bump.

WOW, scary, so many people nearly died getting out of his way. I was cheering for the car when it ran over him.

MrK, you are exactly right. Some people - and I am one - can be comfortable as a social drinker and never be tempted to drink to excess. In fact, I *hate* the feeling of being even slightly tipsy - I feel that I am losing control and I can't stand that.

OTOH, my husband never started drinking until he was 40, but once he started - whoa, Nellie and Katy bar the door. Thank God he is clean and sober now. I can see him behaving as the drunk in the story did - he calls it "alcologic".

When he talks to teens about drinking, he tells them exactly what you said - that you never know whether you are the one who is an alcoholic until you have already crossed the line.

Not much of a drinker myself mom. I hate losing control. So if I feel the control slipping when I am drinking I stop and switch over to diet coke.

Alcoholism runs in many families, mine included. I do not drink. I never know when I might have to go get the child (who will be 21 next month). I know, I know....

It causes a lot of grief sometimes. Thing is, one never knows when they first start out what their reaction will be. I'm talking about the early on, experimenters. There is no way to tell who will become a problem drinker. There are indiators, but no hard and fast ways to know. I recommended all my chiildren to just never take the first drink.

Looks like drinking alcohol causes all kinds of problems.
