Go, Willie!

In a similar vein, I've become annoyed with every state creeping its legal blood alcohol level lower and lower and lower. I'm much less concerned about the guy that had 2 drinks on his way home from work... I'm concerned about the guy driving down the wrong side of the sidewalk.

It seems we're so obsessed with "getting tough on ____" that we fail to apply logic...

Dude, logic holds that the difference between 2 drinks (the universal answer to any policeman's inquiry) and driving down either side of the sidewalk DOES NOT EXIST WITHOUT THOSE FIRST TWO DRINKS HAVING BEEN CONSUMED FIRST. Hopefully, they'll creep the BAC all the way down to Zero Tolerance. Right now, people drinking and driving are wiping out more lives than all the other drivers under the influence of all the other drugs combined. Rarely, if ever, is anyone stopped and cited for DUI/DWI after 2 drinks (unless s/he is a minor, for whom zero tolerance laws do exist. In Texas, anything detectable [even the smell] may warrant a DUI, which is a class C misdemeanor. At the officer's discretion, they may demand sobriety tests, and cite for DWI, the more serious offense). It just does not happen. Those who say it has happened to them are lying/in denial.

He should have told them it was just for the Bio-Diesel on his bus.

Good one.
