Just wondering... I never have, nor do I think I ever will. Just doesn't make sense to me really.

Why would you drive drunk? That's ridiculously stupid. I'm fine if you are endangering YOUR life if you are just drinking, that's your right, but as soon as you endanger other people's lives, that's when Dimmu gets angry. :|

I never have/will drink and drive or get into a car with someone who's been drinking. Like dimmu said, it is ridiculously stupid to do so. Plus, people suck at driving sober, so it is a zillion times worse when they drink.

No, I won't drink and drive. I wouldn't want anyone to get MADD at me! Really, if we go out to eat and I have one drink, the wife drives home. She will not drink, if I do. The last thing I would want to do is kill someone because I was inebriated.

I'll never drink and drive. My cousin almost 6 years ago was killed in head on car crash. the idiot he hit head on was drunk and high.

This is why the question arose. We had to take this call in dispatch on Friday morning. Been thinking about it ever since. DIdn't know the guy. Just messed up situation. Dude got charged, and he has to live with the fact that he killed his buddy...

I did frequently, many years ago. I woke up one afternoon and realized I didn't even remember leaving the bar. It scared the crap out of me because I always told myself I drove just fine even when drunk. But if I couldn't even remember driving home, how could I have been driving well? I thank God every time I think about it that I didn't hurt anyone.:eek: It has been 20 years since I drove drunk and I will never do it again.

I have but the closest I've come to wrecking was not when I had had a few but when I was tired.

Indeed. Usually I can get a ride or crash where I am but there was this one time I was drinking with this girl and her friends. Her pops and bf came home and lets just say I had to leave quickly.

I drove a friends G35 with 2 shots of tequila in me... to pick up more liquor. I was the "soberest."

Wasn't even buzzed, but don't plan on doing it again. Prolly woulda blowed below the level, but still...

only in Gran Turismo . . . . haha, its a good thing to do when you're drunk coming back from a party. Good lesson, too. I can't even find the track sometimes when I'm gone.
