I thank God that,
during my younger days, I was never in a 'serious' accident
while driving drunk. Yes, I am as guilty as any when it comes
to being intoxicated and driving under the influence of
intoxication. Just because I was never charged for the crime
does not excuse my offence. I have, though, been reformed
from getting drunk and have been forgiven for my past
offences. Thank God.
I am not against alcoholic beverages, only
the excessive use of drink because of the resulting damage
that can occur ,spiritualy, emotionally, physically,
relationally, financially.

I believe that the courts are far
to lenient on driving while drunk offenders. Mandatory
jailtime for 1st time caught offenders. Permanent loss of
driving license for repeat offenders, should be the rule.
I believe that drinking and driving is as
serious an offence as having an accident while under the
influence.
I believe that drinking establishments,
bars, pubs, lounges, restuarants, casinos, and the public in
general, have a responsibility to see that their guests and
patrons do not drive after becoming intoxicated in their
premises.
I believe that more resources need be
readily available to show the seriousness of drinking .
