I guess I should clarify my dad's story. He wasn't driving while impaired, he was hit by a car full of impaired people.

But yeah like I said...it's different out here. There's nobody on the highways by the time you leave the party, and you hate getting somebody out of bed to drive your drunk ass home (although that's a pretty lame excuse). It's a not out of the ordinary in the country to have some brews and then drive home. Nobody makes a big deal out of it. I guess it's just that I've been around this kind of stuff my entire life. I know that sounds awful, but it isn't as bad as you think. It's not like we're all out getting destroyed every weekend then all driving home. People are maybe even more understanding of it out here. Doors are always open and you can alway crash at whoever's place. Maybe that's why there's such a high instance of drunk driving in the cities. You can't just stay at wherever you were drinking.

And another thought about the breathalyzer in the bar that wouldn't work---you could be done drinking, but your body could still be dealing with liquor in your system. Had that feeling before to, where you feel fine to drive, then get down the road a little ways and you all of a sudden get hit with this drunk feeling. There must be some way for bars to regulate those who drive home though...I still think there could be some way for the breathalyzers to work...maybe keep the bar open an hour later, but with no liquor served for the last hour. Then everyone goes to leave and gets tested. I dunno. I guess there's really no way of ensuring people don't drive home drunk. It's up to them to decide whether it's worth it or not I guess.
