In high school I had a close friend. She was kind, lovely, bright, and had just been accepted into a top college. On her way to school one day her car was hit by a car driven by someone who had been drinking. Death would have been far more merciful than what happened to her. She has been severely disabled and institutionalized for more than 30 years -- all because someone drank alcohol then drove. No one has the right to do that to someone else. Unfortunately, it's usually the innocent who are maimed and killed. Bruce, it doesn't matter what you think about the laws, nor does it matter whether there was a deer involved. By driving after drinking, you were a danger to your girlfriend, yourself, and anyone on the road near you. Please take this seriously.

what about endangering the welfare of a minor ?

he put her in his car, after consuming alcohol and drove the car.

I knew a teenage girl once that snuck out at night . Her parents thought their child was in bed asleep and that all was well in their world...Well about 12:30 that night a leo came to their house.They told him, no way my child is in her room asleep. He said just go check and see....Their world ended. They had to bury their preious daugther in 3 days. All because she was also out riding with a 18 year old drunk boyfriend.

"provisional DWI is when someone under 21 has been drinking. Any amount of alcohol is DWI when you have those provisional license."

The term "provisional DWI" isn't really accurate. The correct term for the charge is "driving after consuming while under 21." It's not a DWI. You can get charged with that and DWI as well. And provisional license doesn't have anything to do with it either. You can get that charge when you're 18, 19, 20 years old when you have a full license. A lot of people use "provisinal DWI" when describing the charge but it's really not accurate.

"That depends on the person tolerance to alcohol. If you're not a drinker and drink one beer you could blow a .5"

We talking midgets here? I had a 5', 100 lb girl drink four beers and get to a .08. One regular beer and a .05 just doesn't happen.
