I drink what I want when I want on my property, as I please.

They may come and take me away as they please; everyone has a function in the universe; I do my job, they do their's.

It is not illegal to be drunk as a skunk, unless there is a cop present. Anywhere, including your domicile. I find it helpful to not create situations whereby I need to deal with law enforcement personnel when I am legless.

I live in a boating community, tuff to find anyone NOT drinking in their yard!!

Please add us to your ping list if you have one. If not, would you please consider starting one?

I can verify that Sam speaks for the three of us. A The Other Harry Vanity Ping list is needed.

"As a veteran drinker, all are relevant to me"


Veteran drinker, eh? Interesting word choice. Is that your way of saying you've turned pro?

Got one for you, Harry. These dames were busted for pushing a car while drunk.

Women Face DUI Charges For Pushing Car

Drunken driving can also be drunken pushing -- at least to police in Portage, Ind.

Kaylyn Kezy and Melissa Fredenburg both face DUI charges after the car they were pushing crashed into a parked car. Police said the women took turns pushing the non-running car while the other steered.

After the accident, officers said both women tested with a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit.

Prosecutor Adam Burroughs admitted the case might be a tough one to prove in court. But he noted that the women were in effect operating the vehicle -- even though the car wasn't running at the time.

It may be tough for the state to prove in court, but the problem on the defendant's side is the cost of arguing.

Where I live (central Virginia), the cost of arguing with an attorney (which you pretty much need), is a minimum of $1000. So even if you "win", you lose.

Interesting article. Thanks!
