Damn Right. Bout time they gott off the smokers back and stopped winking at these people who drink like fish and can't stay out from behind the wheel.

See, they made me quit drinking, then they came for the tobacco. I may die of the tobacco, many ex-drunks do. But I won't by God be taking anybody with me.

I'm not winking at anyone that drinks like a fish and gets behind the whell of a car.....no one who has been drinking heavily should be behind the wheel of a car. heck, I don't get in my car if I've taken certain types of allergy medicine because it impairs me, so I'm not going to do it after I've been drinking.

But with that said - I still believe this was just flat out wrong.

Years ago I had a friend who was charged with DUI.....and it would have been a legitimate charge IF he had been driving. But he wasn't, he was walking, but because he had his car keys in his pocket it was claimed "the intent to drive" was there. It didn't matter that his car was about 3/4 of a mile away - IN THE PARKING LOT of the establishment he had left and was walking home from.

Since then the law has been changed and you can not lose your DL under such circumstances in Delaware - but it used ot be a common occurrance.
