While I was growing up in New Orleans, I commonly saw the pitfalls of people driving drunk.
Louisiana, now leads the nation in dwi related accidents and deaths.
My friends know that I have a standing policy that I will pick them up when ever\where ever they are if they feel they have had too much to drink.
I also know how people are when they have had too much to drink and want to drive home. I have been in numerous altercations with friends who refuse to let me drive them home.
It is sad to say, but just last week, after a wedding reception, a friend of my fiance refused to let us drive her back home.
I got a phone call from the state trooper at 3AM letting me know that she was being arrested for dwi. She was driving on the wrong side of the road an just missed an oncoming car (thank God).
So I spent the rest of the night bailing her out of jail, perhaps I should have let her stay there to teach her a lesson.
Be safe and smart.
