I have.

I've driven soo fucked up it was un-real.  I've tripped of DXM so hard that, in the middle of driving, it felt like my legs disappears.  Coked, tweaked, twacked, bombed, baked, blitzed... you name it.  I've even taken a 5th Jose Cuervo and a pint of Everclear w/ tea, slit my wrists up til I was flingin blood across the floor when I moved my arms and took off drivin to a town 30 minutes away, jus' to go chill with my cousin.  To make matters worse, it was over a girl.

Thankfully, I've stopped drinking.  And looking back on it, I hate it.  I can't really stand not remembering what I've done.  That's why my drug of preference is methamphetamine.  You might hear bullshit about how "it controls you," but that's from bitches who have no self control.  If you want it, you have just as much decision making ability on it, as off it.  But I'm gettin off track here...

Yes, I did drive like that, and I always found an excuse besides "drinking."  It wasn't my "drinking" that made me get my DUI, it was the "driving."  It wasn't my "drinking" that was making me take advantage of my girlfriend, it was "who I was with." 

My point is this:  You need to really think if it's giving you the experiences you have, or if maybe it's a little deeper.

Myself?  I had an issue (not an addiction, just an issue) with drinking.  And, now when I load my little man (1 yr. old) into his car-seat, or lay down to cuddle and take a nap with him, I realize the smartest thing I ever did was set the bottle down.

Just some food for thought.

I have driven drunk, drunk and tripping and tripping maybe fifty times.  I have no good excuse for it.  The reason was simply that I was selfish enough to risk someone else's life for my own convenience.

Anyone here who admits to driving drunk and tries to rationalize it with a lame argument like "I can do it: I've never been in an accident while messed up" or "How many accidents do sober people cause?" make me sick.  I've never killed anybody, but I've driven so drunk that I easily could have.  I just didn't give a shit at the time.  I've driven sloshed just to go pick up a pack of cigarettes.  I've driven drunk to go to get more liquor and drank the liquor in the car on the way back while drunk.  Yes, people cause accidents while sober often because they take risks and rationalize it in the same way that drunk drivers do: the chances of an accident, even while drunk still may not be particularly high, but you're still KNOWINGLY increasing the risk of hurting yourself and someone else for no good reason.

It's like speeding and tailgating.  People do it all the time without causing serious accidents, but the simple fact is that it is risky because if a situation does arise where you need to stop quickly and you're doing these things, then you might end up killing someone just because you told yourself it was okay because such a situation is unlikely to arise.  That's not a good excuse.  It's despicable and irresponsible.  You might call it an "accident" if someone is involved in a car crash, but if they're in a crash because they were tailgating and speeding, then it's not an accident, it's negligence: that "accident" was completely avoidable.

If you drive drunk, at least have the guts to admit to yourself that you are an irresponsible and selfish person who is risking another person's safety.  Society does not ask you to refrain from driving drunk because accidents are inevitable.  Society asks you to refrain from driving drunk because you are more likely to crash your car or do something stupid and end up hurting someone when this is entirely preventable.

Whenever I used to drive drunk, which I acknowledge was a totally dangerous, selfish and irresposibly horrible thing to do, some of the people getting in the car with me would always reassure their friends that I was just "someone who could do it."  As though the fact that I had never been in an accident while drunk or on drugs behind the wheel was proof that it was impossible for me to crash while drunk.  There was no excuse for my behaviour.  I don't intend to ever drive drunk or while tripping again.  I am thankful that I never got caught, but I do consider it my responsibility to try getting others not to take the same risks with other peoples lives that I did.

It is a disgusting and stupid argument to try rationalizing drunk driving by asking, "How many people cause car crashes while sober?"  So what?  So we should let people do whatever the fuck they want behind the wheel just because some accidents really might be unavoidable?

You don't have to drive drunk.  Driving drunk takes others' lives in your own hands.  That's a big responsibility to assume.

This is the attitude I'm talking about.  How can you speak for every person who gets behind the wheel after a few drinks?  It's a very subjective thing.  After 4 beer, person A's abilities may be affected greatly, yet person B, is completely fine...even capable of passing a driver's test with flying colors.

Again, the fact is, there are people driving drunk who shouldn't.  These are the people that are negligent.  They know they are in no shape to drive, but do it anyway.  So how do we solve this problem?  Make it illegal for anyone having a drink to get on the road and make anyone who does it seem like an evil person.

Sounds like a tactic I've heard/seen before huh...:smirk:

It's the same fucking arguement.

I'll continue to drive drunk and safely, when I feel I am capable(and when I'm not, I'll listen to myself and not drive, unlike many idiots around the world), while some of you will continue to get in fender benders sober because you are simply bad drivers, sober or drunk.

You're so cool, it's totally worth endangering other people's lives, isn't it? If you throw a knife off of a roof and it doesn't hit anyone, it was ok? Get your shit together.
