I have a friend who tells a story about being 3 sheets to the wind in the early 80's who was pulled over and all the cops told him was to turn on his ####ing lights.
drunk driving was almost a normal activity.

In those days it was ridiculously easy to hire a lawyer and either get no suspension or 3 months max. I worked summers for a municipality and there were a couple of chronic drinkers that had several DUI's and I don't recall either of them ever having their license suspended for more than 3 months. It was pretty normal to drink and drive then. Even late 80's it was pretty standard for myself and friends to get wasted on weekends and all drive home.
