I once worked with a middle-aged guy who confided that he drank a quart of rum per day. He died relatively young, but I never saw him impaired.

"But I can also see a lot of people in Penn. with drinking problems clamming up for good when talking to their doctors...and not getting help." Bingo.

THAT is what I call legitimate grounds for a LAWSUIT!
The doctors need to have their certificates revoked

My mother was a stone alcoholic. She could suck a 16 oz beer for the whole day. She drank 16 oz of beer a day?!
There's nothing wrong with that.

Hada, I'm in North Texas, and I think my DOCTOR has that many beers a day! I know my lawyer does.

The man has a clean driving record. Sounds like you want him punished for being a sinful drinker,not an incompetent driver.

Years ago, an employee of mine got 2 DUI's and they took her license. She used a bicycle to get to work, but was drinking one night and got arrested for drunk driving on her bicycle. :)

Time for one of my favorite little jokes:
The only way a case of beer could impair my driving was if you stacked up the cans up on the windshield in front of me.
To: mdittmar
Good lord...absolutely NO ONE is going to tell their doctors a thing from now on.

He'll be the last one it happens to. Nobody in their right mind will tell their Docs anything from now on in PA.

(Thirty Helens agree.)
The law requires revocation of the license until the driver can prove he is competent to drive. Sure Mr. Law-dog. Hop right there in the passenger seat, and let's take a spin around I-285.
Or, how about you hop on the back of my 250, and let's take a spin around the powerline.
If Mr. law-dog begs to be let out or off before I'm finished displaying my driving compentency, does that make me "competent to drive"? How about a 25 year safe driving record?
No, it's all about money.

I still shy away from people who drink, even on a casual friend level.You must have a very short list of acquantainces. I can only think of three people I know who are total abstainers from alcohol.

Just curious. Would you have driven knowing that you weren't fit to drive or did you have to wait till your license was taken?
