I know, some will see this as a ridiculous solution; however, use just a little bit of reason. I think even alcoholics and drug addicts would agree that it is wrong that people get killed by “drunk” drivers (although the average drunk drivers will never admit that they are one of them). The reasonable solution is to completely separate driving from consumption of alcohol like is done for pilots, truck drivers, etc. Now, some may think it is their right to play with fire and drink before getting behind the wheel, but driving after drinking is not a guaranteed right of the Constitution of which I am aware. People are still free to drink all they want; they just cannot drive after consuming an alcoholic beverage. People can drive all they want, just not after consuming an alcoholic beverage. It makes total sense except for those that make money off drunk driving and those alcoholics who drive drunk and who create excuses in an attempt justify why their obviously wrong behavior is somehow right.

I know: MADD is going after our rights; we are going to have Marines stopping us in the streets; intoxilyzers are inaccurate; vampire cops are strapping us down to get our blood, slurred speech is not a sign of DUI; yes, everything is wrong with the world except that thousands of idiots think it is OK for them to drink and drive. It is like arguing with my five year old why it is not OK for him to play in the street. Let’s grow up, act like adults, stop putting innocent lives in danger and keep the blood money out of the pockets of the DUI attorneys and corporate CEOs.

I know, its hard to accept this; after all, judgment is the first thing to go when a person starts to drink – but not your judgment, of course; you’re fine and only had two beers… blah, blah, blah – Sober up! Grow up! Stay off the same roads as my family!

As for these vile devices, forget it, they don’t work. They are just another fine the victim of our draconian society has to pay to drive again.
