I suspect most of those people thought they were under the legal BAC, and maybe some were.
ReplyDeleteIt's not worth the risk even if you're only having one drink -- if the cops decide you're intoxicated, you're screwed. If you think cabs to go drinking are expensive, wait until they take your license away. DUIs are very expensive, but that's not even the worst part -- the money & inconveniences are only temporary hardships. The real kicker is the shame. It doesn't go away when you get your license back.
