AMEN, brother. We’ve lost too many people to drunk drivers or drunk driving. My son had to bury two of his best girl friends who killed themselves by drunk driving. It hit him harder than having to look at dead enemy soldiers in Iraq.
They died for nothing.
I’m for both responsible drinking and responsible driving. They are not excusionary, at least not to a sane person.
In a past life I was a sheriff’s deputy in a small oil town in West Texas, it had 8 churches and 22 bar’s. Wreck’s. DWI’s, fight’s and drunken domestic’s were the standard call. As much as I like a drink of good whisky I have zero tolerance for drunk’s or bar’s. Were it up to me no alcohol would be sold after 9:00 PM by any liquor store restaurant or convenience store. As far as bar’s they wouldn’t be allowed to operate period. Get caught selling to a minor and it’s a mandatory 90 day’s in county.
