I don't believe I've ever had even one alcoholic drink and then driven. Ever. Steve and I took turns driving, usually it was my turn. LOL!

One time I was driving and the cops pulled me over because I was driving Steve's car and his tags were expired. Steve started arguing with the cop, because I was trying to do the right thing by not letting him drive drunk.

I turned to Steve and shouted "SHUT UP!" (I don't like those words and rarely say them.)

heh heh...

You have to remember that Steve and I both quit drinking completely after our first year of marriage...so when I talk about all the times we drank together, it was between 13-17 years ago.

Hehehe...

I have occasionally had one drink with a big dinner and then driven after an hour or so. I plan ahead so I'll be all right... and I don't usually go out and drink! Maybe twice a month, with friends over dinner.

Fortunately my friends think it's funny that I'm such a lightweight in the drinking department, and also have gotten over their youhtful bad habits so when it's their turn to drive, they are very careful about alcohol themselves. Like I said, my parents made it clear to me that there's a responsibility they expected me to live up to. I remember Mom once told me, when I was about 19 and spent time out with friends a bit, that if I was ever in a situation where I'd had a drink that I was to call her to come get me. And she wouldn't yell at me until the next day, either. Of course I never betrayed that trust either.
