    I was going to do that once. But it was that or a barium enema and prostate exam.

    Those seemed less painful.

    It is a choice. You choose to drink or not.

    Blaming alcohol for piss poor decisions is ignorant.

    I done it for friends that I have loved since my teens. I rather go have a few cokes enjoy some hot wings and know everybody is getting home safe then to be visiting them at the funeral home or the county lockup. Labor yes, but a labor of love.

    I would rather pay for the cab. Part of the reason I no longer go to bullriding, baseball, or hockey games in Nashville is the drunks. Went to a festival last year and left after the first day.

    As I get older I have less and less tolerance for stupid. And nobody has ever gotten smarter on alcohol.

    Cabs were not an option when we were going almost 100 miles to Atlanta. Actually today I have some great memories of making emergency stops along the side of the road on I 985 and Ga 365 going home.

    Yeah you don't understand what alcoholism is. At all. I'd advise you to look into it more. You're at risk.

    I’ve been the sober one in a car full of people high or tripping. I thought it would be fun to play scary pipe organ music on the radio to enhance their experience. :laughing-guffaw:

    Sorry about your luck. Seems like you don't understand. I'm FAR from it. I live my life just fine without it. And i live my life just fine with a beer.

    You should be good for about 12-14 years or so when your 3rd dui comes. Hopefully you just run off an escape ramp and don't kill anyone.
