.08 BAC

When people get killed... you know its a bad thing.
so i will make this as short as i can.
I used to drink and drive, a lot.
All of us did.
We prided doing everything while drinking.
12 pack always sitting next to you, broad daylight , who cares.
We had a band. We always played drunk.
We fought a lot and threw our weight around. dysfunction and the celebration of stereotypical booze hound womanizing was where it was at during those times.
1/3 of my friends are dead from alchohol or drugs. Another 1/3 died from onset illness like cancer or suicide.
I got my 1st dui when i was 18 in a 74 dart custom. 2nd when i was 24 in my 67 valiant. My friend Lars got his 3rd in his 68 fury, Ryan got 1, billy had 3 dui, all minor accidents like parking lot **** while leaving the store. My brother laid his harley down into a newly built dead end road, i to the driveway it slid and launched through the garage door and halfway through the kitchen wall... he broke his femur, wrist, hip. Brad got his 1st and died, in a caprice ,out on armstrong in fresno after rolling it end over end... throwing him unseatbelted out the back window and broke his head on the curb support foe the chainlink fence he went through after the rail road tie fence in the 1st yard he blew through. only concrete within 50 sq.yrds My best friend Brian Zarate died in '16 on the corner of centinela and sm blvrd hitting one of the thee oldest and biggest trees on any city block in LA... sending his dog through the windshield and the motor shoved up into the cab. crushed his right foot, impact cause bleeding of every major organ and he died by the time he was set on the table. His toyota tocoma had a recall on the airbags... his didnt deploy. I can keep going... and name all the people...
Some can do well driving drunk... some can do it well for a long time.... but it will catch up with you and everytime you drink and drive...you fill the place in the que of the last person to die drinking and driving aka you're next.
I never wrecked into anyone while drunk... but i have goosed it hammered drunk and got the *** end out from under me and spun out into a curb at 60 mph... bent lower c.a ,strut, 2 slot mags destroyed, ovaled the spring perch locator... and what do i do? i walk to the corner and buy another buddy 40oz and drink it next to the car as to say i 'just started drinking' to get over hurting my car... no cops showed, no one helped 'so cal' ..sigh.. so i bumper jacked that fkr up and put a spare under the front to get it off the sidewalk where it was high centered...and fired it up and drove it off the curb, changed the blown rear tire for the spare i used to put under the front wheel... and drove it to the gas station 2 blocks up with the front pigeon toed n squealing....then called AAA.
Very dumb, could have destroyed the car, other people and even myself.

It's only a matter of time... hence quit while you are ahead.

Thanks for the post.
