I'll admit it, i have driven drunk more times than i'd like to admit. Awhile back i got busted too. I had about 6 beers and then drove to a friends house about 3 hours after my last pint. I felt fine but got pulled over for a headlight being out (hit a deer the week before, and no i wasnt drunk when that happened.)

I went through all the field sobriety tests just fine but the cop made me take a breathalyzer anyway. I didnt care becuase i felt totally sober. Turns out I blew a fail. I was toejamting my pants but as it turns out the cop used to work at a local pub and I had helped him break up a few fights when he worked there.

He let me off, which NEVER happens in the city I live in. It was a real wake up call blowing over .08 when i felt fine. Ever since then If i drink anymore than a single beer i wont drive for the entire night. I figure i was given a second chance so i better not be stupid and waste it.

I have a RULE too.
If your drunk and you hit any of my family!
You will never make it out of the courtroom alive.

Look i worked on an ambulance for 8 years i have seen all the toejam that happendes to people when idiots decide there fun is more important than the publics safety.
I will gladly spend my days in prison but a drunk driver will DIE for his crime if he invovles my family!!
You may say im full of toejam but those who know me know im for real on this.
Its such an easy crime to prevent.
To me a drunk driver is no better than a child molestor!!!
Thats right there both are robbing someone of there child hood.

And then I became sick to my stomach.
To all you young and OLD dudes out there think before you drink
cause it aint just about you!

Well..... I found it disturbing as all hell... but at least I didn't cry

.

Think that'd be the best way to stop drunk driving to be honest.... just put a before and after picture at the exit door to the bar.

Rgr that RC51. This girl had everything going for her. Bilingual, engineering student, good looking.

I am not sure how scar tissue works. Maybe, just maybe, many years from now doctors can 'grow' a new face for her from stem cell tissue and some of her dna.

But until then she has to endure and maintain

Man, that is a nice thought... I think it is a fantasy, but god it would be nice.

Of course, if you look back at even the last 70 years or so, we (as a world) have made HUGE strides in the medical field, maybe it will be possible in the next 50-60 years for that to become a reality.
