Drinking and Driving

You should feel good if that is the case. Beside your boyfriend might feel a lot better if he knew others want you, but jealousy might get in the way.

He isn't really the jealous type, but I do think he would have problems if someone were to cross the line. I'd never let that happen.

Honestly, to those people who are, were, and will be drunk drivers. There's only one problem with you girls, and that's thinking. Those who ended up in ER tells me things like "I wasn't thinking, I just wanted to go home."

You see, I've lived almost all my life in Northern California where DUIs happens EVERYDAY. Especially, Chico, CA, wacked place to live, the laws were getting more and more strict. Cause people died almost everyday back then due to DUI, WUI, SUI, TUI, and DWI.

DUI - Driving under influence
WUI - Walking under influence
SUI - Studying under influence
TUI - Tubing under influence
DWI - Driving with influence

Any of you get one of those ends up in jail for a night. There was a time where they had this summerfest tubing at the Sacramento River, the crew from Girls gone Wild came and filmed everyone. Not only that, in the river, there were around 10,000 people and several of them has drowned. 33,000 came to the summerfest and trashed the whole river with cans, bottles, and butts. We had to fish people out of the river for there weren't only one dead body.

Over 200 years ago, we forbid alochol until the tax system started. Today, because of the tax system, beers are cheaper to buy and stronger to get buzz. Also, marijuana is much better and easily controlled, but not the encomoy since it is growable.

The mother must live or the kids will live much harder without guidance. I will pray for guidance to the mother for she should find a way back.

That is because chico is major partying college town...that don't suprise me
 
one damn thing I will never understand is... if drinking and driving is illegal, why on the earth do bars have parking lots?? don't build any lot nearby bars!

jasmine, no sympathy for drunk drivers but hugs to the kids - for their best and future and hope for correct guidance for the parents.

very good to hear! How long it's been since her admittance to hospital?
 
I'm glad your friend is showing improvement. :)

This subject touches me. I lost a dear friend of mine to a drunk driver. The person who hit her was driving drunk, crossed the center line, and hit my friends car head on. She died instantly. The drunk driver incurred minor injuries and is now serving a 4 yr sentence for involuntary manslaughter.

The sad irony to this is my friend was a recovering alcoholic herself. She was driving home from an AA meeting when she was struck. She would have celebrated 21 yrs of sobriety.

To everyone who thinks that it won't be them, it could be. Please don't be stupid. You never know when your life might be forever altered like mine and Jasmine's has been.
 
Great... A bit more than an half hour ago or so, I saw two cars crashed and, before in a car accident, for a shorter time within less than a half minute, I saw one van was obviously a drunk driver. A several people already called a police for what happened, and they watched after two drivers until a help comes.

I wonder, when will drunk drivers have a common sense?? :roll:

By the way, i'm so glad that your friend get improvement and better. Cheers! :D

That's good to know your friend is showing some signs of improvement. Let's hope your friend continues to recover for the better.

BTW, I sort of can relate the scare of having a drunk driver causing a catastrophe in an accident. Few years ago, My mother was rear-ended by a drunk driver. She ended up having a whiplash on her neck and was immobilized for several days. It was bad enough to scare me and the rest of the family. I am just thankful that she is alive.

Also, My mother's best friend (she has known me since the day I was born and I call her as one of my aunt) ended up in an accident. She was drunk herself and drove. The result is - She is paraplegic. So, yeah, it does not only affect the driver but it also does affect the family and loved ones as well.

This happened similar to a exbrother in law and he was on the way home from the bar and hit the tree. The truck was there for a few hours before the cop found him unconsicious and send for help but ended up in the wheelchair for the rest of life. The sad thing that did wake him up at all and he still continue to drink. :roll:

LMAO! Yeah thats really gonna solve everything.

I'm sorry for all who have expirienced misery, trauma, and misfortune to loved ones--or to yourself but theres always gonna be drunk driving. You could ban alcohol (again) and still not be able to stop it. Theres always a demand for it, which is why it failed the first time. The only thing you can do is watch out for people in your family who are treading on dangerous waters in their lives and keep your eyes open on the road. *shrug*
 
It is kind of funny though, bars should not have parking lots, but offer rides from sober staff. I take everyone's keys before they drink. hehehe, I don't drink much, when I do, just a little, I hate losing my head.
