Yep I am 61.

Depends on your state what it's called. In North Carolina it was changed from DUI to DWI in the 90's. States are different in the names (OWI, DWI, DUI) and punishment. Only thing consistent is it's .08 nationwide.

How do I know this? It's my business.
I know all this because I worked a DUI team for over three years. I can tell you I got sick of doing it way before that and you are correct about what states call it. I am 60 so we are close to the same age.

I was addicted my first year or two. Now I'm down to, I would guess, about 20 hours a month.

It really is amazing how a good fight in this game can have you craving for more though. It's unlike any other game i have ever played.

Badboy, you left out the part of your stalking tendencies and shade characters.. That should account for your other 45% of game play...
