I am terribly sorry for your loss.

In California, you can have your licence suspended for 6 months on the first offense. That's if there's no accident, no speeding, no child in the car. I think that is extreme.

Now, I had an experience of my own on March 8 of this year. I got thoroughly smashed at a local pub and drove home. I was lucky. Nothing happened on the way home. However, my wife was understandably pissed at me. I haven't had a drop since. Now, I don't know whether or not I'll drink again but if I do, I hope I have enough sense not to drive.

I don't feel the need to drink and never have. It seems to me that your "experience" on March 8th was reckless endangerment to the rest of the community even if nothing did happen. I'm with your wife on this one. I hope, as you do, that you do have enough sense not to do it again.

Why take the risk?
