i say again, i guess the FAA has it backwards, in allowing second chances for flying, if busted for dwi/dui
the reality today is that passengers don't even know if they are flying with pilots who have a prior conviction

welcome to realities and the real world -
Was he wrong for drinking in the first place, well maybe, but we are all human. His mistake was not getting a taxi earlier or getting the friend earlier. Before the bar closed, that way he would never have been in his car, to keep warm.
I don't condone driveing after drinking. I don't drink, I married someone that doesn't drink. But that does not mean I look down on those who do. As long as they don't drive down the road, (or fly a plane, drive a boat.etc). I really don't care if they get passed out drunk every friday night, I just won't go visit them til saturday afternoon. If they are not puting others lives at risk by what they do, it's their business.
BTW the friend I wrote the OP about is a casual beer drinker watching the fooball game at HOME kinda guy. The day he got his OVI, was not in any shape way or form a "normal" day, well month if truth be told. That is not my story to tell though, so I won't even go there. -
Then he should have sat in the passenger seat instead. If you sit in the drivers seat with the vehicle running, you are in control of the vehicle. Bad judgement call on your friends behalf. Why do I look down on DUIs? Besides knowing someone who was killed by a drunk driver, drivers are never sorry about their actions. They are only sorry they got caught. Your friend does NOT belong behind the wheel of anything. I wouldn't even trust him on a bicycle.

Not all ppl who drink are alcoholics and you are right about alcoholics, they don't care.
I don't drink because my family is prediposed to alcoholism, one is never enough. No one in my family drinks "casually", either they don't drink at all or they are alcoholics. Or you could say we are all alcoholics, iust some of us don't drink. I know what alcohol does to ppl, I know the lives it ruins, from both sides. As a paramedic, i saw the drunks that killed ppl and liveing with it, i've seen them ruin there own lives and those around them slowly.
That does not however mean I condem any one that drinks. Those are my opinions based on my life.Ghost Ryder Thanks this. -
