ARGH... sometimes I wish I had a better sense of humor... drunk driving tales are just not funny to me at all. Might have something to do with my mother being hit by one before all the stricter laws that had 9 priors. She had just recouperated from a second back surgery and had a good result. After that, she loved a life of pain and disability. Then there was my 16 year old friend that was wrapped around a tree and died from another drunk driver. She was just driving home from school.
Just not funny. There are some funny stories about being shit-faced while not driving. But, it wasn't really very funny when my son called me to tell me a friend of his at college died from alcohol poisening at age 18.
OK, pounce on me for being a stick in the mud...
