Sober person: "I plan to get wasted tonight, and don't have a sure way home. I'd rather not drink and drive, so I'd appreciate if if you held my keys."

Bartender: "No problem. You can come back and pick your car up tomorrow."

No excuses.

I will agree on the immediate consequences.

Now, on increasing trains and cabs, there was something like 13 or 14 deaths this last week, all related to drunk drivers.

Outside of the one at Sarcee and Richmond Rd SW, I dont think any of the others would have been influenced with more options for transportation out there. And even the one within Calgary, was that not mid afternoon? when most people dont associate driving with drinking? and when public transportation is in full swing?

When those who drive drunk get the message, either voluntary or not, then we might start to see the statistics of deaths associated with drunk drivers drop.

IN the late 70's my cousins best friend went into her house, leaving her little boy 6 and little girl 4 playing in their fenced in front yard. A drunk driver drove through the fence, killing both kids right on their own front step. He didn't ever go to jail for it.

Although that is nice and all I don't believe the death penalty is necessary but if you kill someone while driving drunk it should be murder with a life sentence. The problem in Canada is a life sentence is 5, maybe, 10 years. Which is the sad part.

If it was my kids I would have been charged with murder as I would have killed that SOB drunk driver on the spot. That is so sad.
