my dad told me that as a joke, years ago
-------------------- PEACE
zippoz "in times of widespread chaos and confusion, it has been the duty of more advanced human beings - artists, scientists, clowns, and philosophers - to create order. In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption" "People do it every day, they talk to themselves ... they see themselves as they'd like to be, they don't have the courage you have, to just run with it."

Does anyone know for sure if this is legal or not?

yeah, people who are blindly against drunk driving just don't see the whole spectrum. i have to be pretty damn drunk to not still be able to drive. i know my limits and take full responsibility for them. if i can't stare at something without my eyes involuntarily moving, or if i can't stand straight up, or walk straight, i don't drive. i have seen people dive just fine yet be pretty fucking drunk. it is just like anything else, you have to learn to do it. most people who get in wrecks while drunk were just being stupid, immature fucks. it's all about self control, composure.
but oh yeah, i heard that joke years before myspace was around lol
-------------------- if i'm just a stoned stoner, sayin some stoned ass shit, please correct me

You sound immature and naive in your attitude to drinking and driving. No amount of "practice" can restore your response and reaction time when you're drunk. Just because someone seems to drive well when they are drunk doesn't mean they will be able to respond well if an unexpected situation arises while they are behind the wheel. And that is exactly what causes accidents, unexpected situations. Getting behind the wheel when impaired is just stupid and selfish.
That being said, the laws regulating DUI have become draconian at best. The legal limits placed on BAC are subjective and in some cases ridiculous. And the law allows no leniency even when mitigating circumstances would draw a logical conclusion to do so. It is for this reason alone that I quit doing it. Not for fear of my safety, and (I'm ashamed to admit) not for the safety of others, did I quit driving after drinking. But fear of the legal repercussions alone stopped me from getting behind the wheel after even one drink for the last 10 years. Strange, but as much as I hate them, I am living proof that the laws work.

Who you calling old, sonny? Say that to my face and I'll hit you over the head with my walker.
Don't kid yourself though, this old man could drink you under the table. But you'd have to do the driving home!
