    why.........is it so hard for these men to understand that drinking and driving don't mix...he could have certainly afforded a limo or cab.....or maybe the real problem lies with the establishments who sell alcohol and then watch people walk out to their cars when they know they had the power to take away the car keys and call the man a cab.
