People that kill someone should be punished accordingly. People who have a few drinks, drive home and get arrested for that (rather than causing an accident that killed someone) should also be punished accordingly. The two crimes are way different.
**** that. The point is that if you drive drunk you are putting others besides yourself in danger. If you can't be responsible enough to make sure you're under the legal limit, then you shouldn't be driving after drinking, period. If you're surprised by the fact you blow a .09 you're an idiot. I have no tolerance for ****tards that drink and drive. It's a very slippery slope either way. If you're going to drink, make appropriate accommodations. If you end up having an extra drink or two, call a damn cab or a friend. It's a really ******* simple concept, but people today are too worried about being inconvenienced by the fact that they need a ride when their car is right there... **** them. It is a whole lot more inconvenient for the family of the people you could kill, your family, and yourself if you get into an accident, pulled over or are maimed or killed... I've got no time for the inconsiderate apologists that say I only blew a .09. Too many people I know have been affected for life by a drunk driver.
