Man the perspectives in the city are really, really different than out here in the boonies. Obviously drunk driving is frowned upon, but it's nowhere near as big a deal out here. I guess it's just the logistics or whatever you want to call it here. Sometimes you've just gotta do what you gotta do to get home.

Having said that, I certainly don't condone it. I've had my experience (and let me tell you what, going to pull my vehicle out of the ditch the next morning was one of the scariest things I've ever done...I was shaking and could just barely bring myself to drive that thing home...). My dad's had his experience (hit by a car full of Native's [not trying to get racist or anything, just that's who hit him] and they tried to blame him for having his brights on). I'm lucky I didn't kill my sister or myself on the gravel road that night. It's something I will never, ever do again. But to say that you can't drink at all and drive is foolish. I know my limit, and I won't ever drink over it if I need to drive anywhere later.

What I'd like to see bars institute is some sort of breathalyzer that's right at the door. You check your keys with the bouncers or whoever for the night, and when you go to leave, you have to blow to check them back out. I don't think it'd be that tough to set up, although I suppose there could be some backlog of people trying to leave at the end of the night.

Edit---And just like that, StoneCole crushes my idea...perhaps you keep the bar open half an hour later? Of course then the bars would be pissed since they aren't selling drinks but having to pay employees...
