Yes, the drunk will probably ignore all stop signs creating a hazard each time. And no, one missed stop sign at the wrong time is all it takes whether drunk or not.

In my experience no. When I was drinking I was always more 'legal' regarding stop signs etc. to avoid been stopped. When 'drunk' as well as sober/distracted anyone can do something stupid. the difference IMO is carelessness vs inability to drive...

AHHHHHHH, please cite for me the reference where it is proven, demonstrated that

ALCOHOL
DECREASES
CARELESSNESS.

I'd be VERY KEENLY interested in THOSE statistics. The Insurance Companies must be quite keenly interested, too. Goodness. Just think--they may start offering discounts to all of those who take up drinking while driving! What a new day that will be! LOL.

Why . . . MADD will have to regroup and restrategize. Perhaps many of them will take up drinking and driving after reading such studies. What a prospect!
