I'll argue the merits of drinking and driving. This is once again the Liberal nanny state out of control. It all boils down to personal responsibility, and propaganda provided by the clowns at MADD. I live within 10 minute drive from where I worked, and my home, and weighing apx 370 lbs, I can drink a beer, while commuting from my workplace to my home, and have no ill effects from the tiny amount of alcohol absorbed. This is also true if I have my usual one drink when out at dinner, which is consumed over a 1-2 hour period., Why then must I adhere to some idiotic drinking/driving ban. By the way I retired from the trucking industry after 23 commercial years and nearly 2 million accident free miles.

"propaganda provided by the clowns at MADD."
How exactly do you call what I have shared in this thread propaganda? Maybe you used a bit of a broad brush there.
Drinking WHILE you drive, WOW you take it to a whole other level. I oppose that 100%.
So enthralled with a beer that you cannot wait ten minutes to get home? I would offer that speaks to an addiction.
You drink a beer at work and drive home, I have no beef with that. As a member of MADD just said that to you, your former statement shows you indeed painted with a broad brush.
