I deplore drinking and driving. I think it is one of the most irresponsible things a person can do. It shows complete disregard for yourself and others. But... I do know people who have or do try it I tell them exactly what I think about it too. I don't think the laws are stringent enough. Do you know anyone that continues to drink and drive? Do you do anything about it?

Actually this is different, the other thread is what would you do if you saw people at a restaurant with no apparant designated driver. This one is more about drinking and driving in general. Have you ever done it, do you know people that do. BUt you are probably right and they will delete. I don't think they even read the post just the titles. Course it would probably take an awsome amount of manpower to actually read all the post.

wlee9696 me too, as its so stupid and so very d angerous too. If the drunken driver does not care about his own life, he should at least
realize that he could kill any number of people by his stupid acts.
I deplore people who do not care for anyone one or any thing but themselves and will stagger out to a car, tons of steel and plastic that could kill a number of people if its out of control, and try to drive home. And the one time we came across this my husband told the man he had to call a cab, he would not let the drunk drive home. we ended up crowding the idiot into the cab of our pickup and driving him home. the next thing we knew he had beat his wife almost senseless. We did help her to get away from him and take her kids to a battered womens center. the man kept pestering us and he refused to stop drinking. I finally told my husband I did not want that man in our house ever again. So the next time he staggered into my home,I was alone with two small children so I just called the police, told them the man was drunk and harassing me, they got him and took him off to jail. Oddly the woman proved to be almost as stupid as the drunk she went back to him. that did it for us,we just wrote them out of our lives. She finally did get up the guts to leave him, and divorced him. my hubby was instrumental in that. God love him. I am widowed now.
