Maybe he'll sober up enough to respond !

Your subject is probably out on a run as he's lost a bunch of weight and now professes to drink much less. I comment him for both!
I'm amazed that the guy in this story continues to drive after multiple arrests and convictions? What's wrong with this picture?

My dad used to have a this painted on his funny car...
DWI enforcement in this state is pathetic.
I was at the gas station the other day and the cashier was almost bragging about how her husband got his 4th degree agg DWI reduced to 2nd degree, got the no insurance and no registration tickets dropped and only spent 3 days in jail. Had to pay some fines and get an ignition interlock on his vehicle, which he should have had before seeing that it was his 5th offence.
I know this woman, I know she has had her fair share of DWIs and DUIs as well.

Since It's obvious you brought me into this, I can say I've NEVER gotten a DWI! And Yes I'm down 33 lbs! Thanks Doc!

Joe - didn't mean to suggest you had DWI's! Congrats on the huge weight loss,
I know you were having back problems - you have to feel like a new person!

As a forty plus looser I can attest that it has indeed improved my health [ and the way I feel ] a lot better and I have been able to cut my med's in half.
My liver was ready to pack up and depart and I had to put a Corvette on like a girdle.
Joe just be warned that you will probably have to constantly diet in order to not regain it.
It's the metabolism thingy.
I can now eat like a human once in a while when it suits me or special occasions and I'm not buying diet prepared food any more .
Even watching and not overeating I gained back 6 lb's so I now know don't even smell fattening food.
My rule is if it has no carbs or fat eat away.
If it has carbs and fat Stay Away !
There's no truth to the rumor that I Moo alot.

That's a sad shame. To brag on something that may cost the loss of a life or destruction of someones property. People who drive under the influence affect more than themselves.
From what I understand, it has gotten much tougher here. First offense is a very large fine and possible jail time. Second offense, much larger fine, definite jail time and loss of license. No games.
I am not 100% certain (since I don't drink & drive I haven't paid that much attention to it.)

I was very unfortunate (or perhaps fortunate) to be a 'first responder' of a DWI wreck when it occured just in front of the shop. I think I was about 10 or 11 but I can still see the glazed eyes of the woman in the Grand Marquis, and see the blood running down the side of the windows. The guy in the El Camino, walked away, not so much as a scratch. His passenger's legs were crushed under the dashboard and he was screaming at the top of his lungs.
I even remember the drunk puking on the hood of the police car, and me puking right after.
From then on, I've never had much patience for drunk or even buzzed drivers.

I've lived away from my hometown for several years. When I first got online (Windows 3.1! One step up from a Commodore.) I discovered AOLs chatrooms and would frequent the Knoxville one. Somehow it came up that I was from Maryville and what high school I'd attended and a guy asked me if I knew any Garlands.
Turns out I'd known his two older brothers very well. The one I was chatting with was a younger one I'd never met. He's in a wheelchair, paralyzed for life after being a passenger a car with one of his older brothers. Found out through him that the same brother then had another drunk driving wreck that killed himself and the other brother.
What a legacy to leave.

When I developed film at one of my jobs in Taos, the state police used to bring in their crime scene stuff. It was frequently extremely gruesome & they were kind enough to let us know if it was bad before we processed it. It's bad enough looking at pictures of beat up or dead people if you know it's coming and even worse if you don't.
It was a person driving with an open container that was responsible for my soon-to-be oldest stepson's rollover accident the last week of his junior year in high school - he is 21 now. The El Camino looked like it had been center punched, but hadn't. It did however roll five times before coming to land right side-up several hundred feet away from impact. It was really horrid and happened less than half a mile away from here. I remember one of the cops walking up to his dad and telling him that he probably had a broken collarbone, arms, pelvis and both legs as well as his nose and that they were moments from getting him out of the car and he should leave now to meet the ambulance at the hospital. They weren't at all sure of how or if he would make it.
Turns out he was very lucky, a broken femur & broken nose with TONS of stitches. He refused any anesthetic or pain killers until well after they started stitching him back together and it was three days before they could operate to put the rod in his leg because they didn't have one long enough (he is VERY tall & they had to fly it in as well as the anesthetist that the surgeon wanted to use.)
