This was not meant to be serious, (don't construe that it was meant to be humerous). I'll bet you that there is a hell of a lot of drinking and driving occuring in the US. And I'll bet that most people who drink have driven at one time or another "under the influence" or "while impaired". Yes, I plead the fifth to drinking and driving, but the problem is what is the definition of "drinking". Is the a glass of wine, a shot of tequila, a six pack, a case ??? Where do you draw the line ??? I have consumed a few beers and have driven, all without any ill side effects. I don't drink to get drunk,(except when I was in college where I learned the true meaning of technicolor yawn...) and I don't drink anything stronger than beer. I am not trying to paint myself as "one of the innocent", since that is silly. The real problem of drinking and driving is that people don't think about it until its too late( ala ... oooopss, I shouldn've had that last margarita.... now where is that fuzzy yellow line?), so my silly survey was aimed to make people think unconsiously of the times that they have drunk WHILE driving, and this would (hopefully) make people more aware of THEIR OWN habits. I am sorry if I have offended you (Laura), but what is said is said and nothing can change it. Driving doesn't kill people. Drinking doesn't kill people. The two in reverse to excess sure as hell does! ^^^^^^^^^ Peter Barada ima!pbear!peterb PS How many of you out there have hit a bar on the way home on Fridays? I welcome mail. You bring the flames, I'll bring the 151. We'll do some fireballs and flamers...
