    People who intentionally DUI (i.e. not “Oh shit, I started this new medication and didn’t realize it would make me drowsy”) genuinely don’t deserve to drive a single inch for the rest of their lives. We punish it way too lightly in the US thanks to rampant car/hyper-individualist culture.

      I hate it, because so many people don’t see the problem. “Oh it’s a short drive.”

      Yeah it sure is a DRIVE which is why I’m not doing it.

      Yes it sucks that I have to plan harder if I want to drink while I’m out but… I don’t have to drink.

      Can’t disagree. Partner and I just went to a work party last night and knew we’d be drinking, so what did we do? Didn’t drive, simple as.
