I grew up in a time and place that if the cops caught you driving drunk, all they did was follow you home to be sure you could find it.

Me too, and I miss it. My hat is off to you, BTW. Better safe than sorry.

I didn't intend to lecture you, just used your comments to point out that this is hysteria, and has gotten completely out of hand.

And I agree with you 110% it has gotten out of hand. Roadblocks are a heavy step towards a police state, responsible people can't pull off the road and sleep it off, etc......, HOWEVER, I never considered suicide while sitting in a cell, but might if I had killed someones child. I have a daughter driving now, and I don't care to have her killed by a drunken driver.

This whole thing is a double edged sword, and there is NO easy answer.
