You said 'Yes I have. But I have never driven drunk. I hope you can realize the severity of the difference.'
Perhaps I misunderstood, but it sounds like you were making a distinction between the two.
Aha - TOTALLY my bad. When he said have you never driven over the legal limit, I thought he was referring to the speed limit. Which made sense to me since he was saying that pretty much everyone had done it. So yes, I admitted driving over the speed limit, but I have not driven drunk. And yeah, my line about the severity of the difference makes no sense without that little piece of info! I must say, I disagree with Lenin when he says that so few people have never driven drunk before. I don't think it's that uncommon...
