Period. Drink as much as you want. Get plastered. I could not care less. However, just don’t get behind a wheel. First offense should be loss of license for 10 years, huge fine, and loads of community service or something excessively harsh. There is just no excuse. Get a DD, driver service, or stay there. As long as the punishment is poo pooed then nothing will change. Really pisses me off.

How about anyone who gets a DUI has to Uber or use a self driving car for the rest of their existence? No DL for them!

We've decided as a society that drinking and driving is fine.

In my experience the consequence you describe is true, but that doesn’t mean CB agrees with that.

You paint with a broad brush. I don’t share that view and have some experience watching DUI’s being sentenced.

It won’t change until the feds implement breathylizers to drive.

Unfortunately I think you’re right. But it could be solved pretty easy. People

This is one area I’m fine with giving up my right to drive until I blow 0.0%

I tend to agree, but my annoyance would be for me having to blow every time

Eh. It appears that marijuana is giving alcohol a run for its money and breathalyzers cops use apparently don't..

Exactly. No reason for it at all. Inexcusable. Attempted murder.

We should actually just make it so that drunk driving actually has consequences.

At least part of it has to be due to US's lack of respect for dangerous nature of driving a car in general.

If the state really cared, a DUI would not be a class B Misdemeanor.

The only way to discourage bad behavior is very strict and harsh punishments.
