Again, it's a difference in opinion. I don't think it's okay to drink three beers then go drive. Just because a person may not feel impaired because they are capable of putting away way more beers than that doesn't mean they are not impaired. It's not okay for a person to be so lenient with their responsiblity to take the chance of plowing into my family.
Most people think they can handle it because they have done it so many times before. So they got home okay after drinking a lil bit. Do it once, twice..oh hey..I can handle my drinking.
It only takes one bad wreck to take a life. Shit happens, even to good people.
