I am surprised at everyone's "if you have alcohol at all, you should never drive, ever". Well, then we might as well shut the bars down, because that is 99.99% of the people out there.
Every place I've lived, in about 6 states, there is either very little access to cabs or none at all. Not every place has the same transportation.
Clearly, I am for responsible driving, but I am also realistic. The laws are just absurd. If you are "drunk" (sorry, two beers does not make you drunk), then get the book thrown at you. If you get two convictions, get 10 books thrown at you, three and you have a serious problem (the laws still approach all this like a ticket, cash cow money maker for the state and lawyers, there are so many with multiple dui's on the road, then someone with bad luck gets the same penalty, it is insane!).
Cell phones, to me, is a far greater problem. Anyone that talks, certainly anyone that texts, should be given the same penalty, if we are talking "safety" (but we aren't, as the laws are not geared towards safety). How people can fight this is beyond me.
