A drunk driver killed my first wife and son. My son was 8 weeks old! I have no sympathy for drunk drivers, period! If I think youre drunk, and behind the wheel of a car, I call the law.

Who cares? You gloat about your drunk driving, in a state that has a ridiculously high rate of drunk driving. That's pathetic. I suspect you won't be so smug when you get that pull over, or hit that other driver, or drive off the road, or hey, maybe you'll end up killing a friend or a family member. That'll be swell, right? Pathetic.

I would feel really bad, if that happen. Again, regardless whether I consumed alcohol before or not. It just happened so far to me, that it happened to me (several times with luckily minor consequences) when I was totally sober.

And again, I live in WI for only 8 months, before then I lived in Los Angeles, before then lived in Boston. Did the same thing there as well. So there's no need to bring relaxed WI laws into the picture.

Speaking of relaxed WI laws... Wisconsin is famous for its drink and drive and lack of real consequences for DUI. I haven't done any research yet and it's not a trick question. Do you think our state has several times higher car death/accident rate than any other state?

I have no idea what you said in your first paragraph.

You're part of the problem. Maybe you'll kill someone in your drunken state or maybe a relative or friend will be killed by a drunk driver. Maybe then you'll finally grow up. Doubt it. I look forward to the day when you get pulled over & tossed in jail.

some of my thoughts are really deep and require good meditation to understand them. You need to try harder.

My uncle was killed by a burst of a torch. My father became handicapped when a heat water pipe burst. My friend was killed in a car crash when both drivers were perfectly sober. Death is not fun, neither is jail. I hope you won't be facing either of those bad situations yourself.

And? All you have to say is you got a DUI, and no one will question whether or not is was .081 or 1.05 or 1.45 or 2.0, the assumptions will run as rampant as if you told someone you were a sex offender.

I don't drive drunk, since I'm a grown up and all, so facing jail for that is nil. You however have an excellent shot at it. Pathetic that you appear happy about it. Maybe you'll grow up one of these days. Maybe you'll even realize the drinking problem you have and seek treatment before you kill someone or yourself.

An average law abiding US citizen on average breaks 3 federal laws each day... So never say never. Good luck with your life.

Good luck with your alcoholism. Hope you eventually grow up & get treatment before you kill someone.
