No, lets actually say that most people don't drive drunk all the time, you imbecile.

I'm not saying the average person drives drunk all the time. I'm saying that at any given time, many people are driving drunk. I should have clarified.

I can handle myself fine. I wouldn't get behind the wheel of a car if I didn't trust in my abilities, believe me

Is this what you are going to say when you kill someone?

trolling or not, either way you are a selfish prick.

If on any given Saturday night, every single person in the country that drove drunk was arrested, we’d get a very different view on the shaming of them.

There is an insane chasm of hypocrasy in the messaging around drinking in our culture.

It depends. Is it legal in your state to kill yourself? You know, before you kill someone else??

This is a running site, why are you posting about your alcohol problems? Find an AA group and f*ck right off mate.

Almost certainly over half of US adults have driven over the legal limit at some point in their life. Whether they were "buzzed" and didn't realize they were over the legal limit or were full-on blitzed. I think last research I found was at something like 69%. None of it is ok. Yes pretty much all of us are hypocrites in some form and none of us doesn't have any moment we aren't proud of whether it was driving drunk or something else. But the OP's attitude on this one is especially distasteful.

This is pretty gross and sad. Just quit drinking already.

Because I know lawyers frequent the site.

Exactly. I've seen people drive more recklessly hopped up on caffeine or zoned out on SSRIs than "under the influence." Plenty of people are under the influence of many things and then feel the need to judge.

huh?

You think the issue is the shaming of drunk drivers? Not them killing innocent people? Your point makes zero sense. The fact that so many people are doing this serious and dangerous act every day is a reason for MORE shaming, not less. People mostly do it because it's viewed as not a big deal. People like you defending them are a part of the reason for that.

If every drunk driver on a given Saturday night got in an accident and killed someone we'd probably have a very different view of drunk drivers and the people who defend them as well.

Again, I don't drive erratically or recklessly. I PASSED the field sobriety tests. People can call me a troll all they want, alcohol just doesn't affect me like it does most people. Some people are fat, some people are smart, some people can roll out of bed and run a 15 minute 5k on minimal training - genetics are what they are. I didn't get to pick my parents...

Are you this bad at trolling when you are sober?

the drunks who practice the field sobriety tests so they can pas when drunk are the saddest, most pathetic of all.

well...except for LRC trolls

Face the facts. I had a DUI about 2 years ago in Michigan. I was driving home from playing poker was at a .19 hit ice rear ended the people in front of me. I was knocked out by the air bag and came to with what felt like my face hitting cement bleeding heavy from my nose and mouth I still have nose bleeds today. I was taken to county jail after refusing medical because I did not want to be the idiot hand cuffed to a hospital bed. I bailed out 2 days later. The penalty was 30 days of jail and 30 days of house arrest. I paid $5,000 for my attorney, $10,000 for my car and $5,000 for the people's car I crashed into, $7,500 in fines and restitution, and $2,000 for probation. I followed the court and was randomly tested 5 times a month. I was released early from probation for good behavior. The money was not an issue as between my wife and myself we make close to $200k a year. A guy I work with blew a .09 and also hit ice crashed and seriously injured someone and one person died he is doing 6 to 15 years right now and was a single father. DUI's are no joke my friend you might be an alcoholic if you can get to almost a .30 and still walk, I can't get that high and do not deny that I have an issue with drinking. I like to be loaded and it seems like you do also.

I love all the self righteous letsrunners, half of who have probably driven drunk themselves jumping on the bandwagon to beat up on this guy.

But seriously, you blew .28. You messed up and shouldn't make these half baked justifications. You have no one to blame but yourself and deserve whatever punishment you get. No one cares that you're an alcoholic and that is irrelevant to this discussion as is the action of others.

I’ve never driven drunk, and the same goes for most people I think. Just because you associate with jerks doesn't mean everybody else does.

It's not that freaking hard. Get a designated driver. If you are going to drink, don't drive. If you need to drive, don't drink. If you need to drink and drive, you're the problem.

You're either brilliantly trolling or you're a complete piece of trash. I really hope the former. If the latter, kindly kill yourself now before you harm anyone else.
