Fish_Whisperer:Thank you for doing your level best to absolutely misunderstand, misconstrue, exaggerate, and be completely over the top, GM. I am suddenly reminded of why I quit visiting the Whine & Cheeze forum, and especially, quit entering into discussions with you. There are certainly other people more willing to engage in intelligent discourse. Take care.
Any stats on non-alcohol related fatalities?
Diver Dennis:I was once convicted of DUI. That was more than 25 years ago when I was 19. I was smashed and headed home when I hit a parked car. No insurance and lost my licence for 3 months. Since then I have never driven after having even one drink. The money it cost me then could have been put in the bank and paid for taking a taxi every time I have gone out for dinner and drinks for the rest of my life. Luckily, no one except me was injured but it was a big wake up call for me and thankfully I learned from it.
If someone can afford to go out drinking, why can't they afford to take a taxi? Killing someone because you don't want to pay for a taxi could end up costing you for the rest of your life.
Still, drinking is legal, smoking dope is not.
