High School Friend Killed, drunk driving Options

[Jen]

So I walk into work this morning, and check my work email, then my regular email. In my regular email there is one from a close friend telling me that one of my really good friends from high school got killed last night by a drunk driver. Apparently, she was on her way home from a friends house, and some drunk a-shole ran a redlight and rammed right into the drivers side of her car, killing her instantly.

And then I come to 6GC.net and see some dipsh-t post a topic about how he was pulled over by the cops.. and let go even though he had been drinking. WHY THE HELL ARE YOU EVEN DRIVING IN THE FIRST PLACE? Whyyyy do people do this?! Do you not see that driving after drinking or getting drunk can kill someone? Someone completely innocent! Someone who did not deserve it.

And to have the audacity to come here and post that you were drunk while driving without a care in the world.. like it doesn't even matter. What is wrong with you people?

Ok i didnt say i need someone to tell me not to drive..i was saying there are people who get drunk and think they are invincible and are irrational.

You have obviously not had an alcoholic who was close to you. and how bout you reread what i said

no way am i sticking up for drunk drivers but sometimes when your stupid drunk you think theres no other option but to drive. We need to have people around us who are real friends and say NO UR NOT DRIVING. but many times those people are drunk themselves :-(

I have myself been in the situation where i had some drinks and drove and i probably shouldnt admit that cuz im sure ill get flamed but my friend was as tipsy as me and was like "ill tell you if ur driving bad"

we were both incapacitated and didnt know better! and i dont even drink now unless i know for sure i can spend the night where im at. i had an alcoholic father and a brother that was going down that road and its scary
