i dont have a car any more because some fairground cunts stole it. But when i did there was one time that was just insane, i have no idea how i got away with it. I have no excuses, it was fucking stupid and woke up to the biggest facepalm moment of my life but yeaa, i did it, wont' again..
.... me and mates had been out on the piss, somehow we all got separated apart from me and one other friend, middle of winter. so we're stumbling home and its fucking snowing by now, we're freezing. manage to get to my house after about 45 mins of being blind drunk falling about in the snow (and getting more beer on the way). he lived about 20 minutes away, i couldn't leave him out in the snow, but somehow my drunk mind didnt think to have him stay at mine, but rather drive home.
My cars windscreen was frosted over and covered in snow, we tried clearing it but kept falling off of the car and gave up. our solution being that he would sit on the edge of the passenger window looking out and shout instructions like "left a bit, slow down, stop" etc whilst i did the driving, pissed off my tits and being able to see fuck all through the windscreen. I have no idea how we made it to his, i know it took what seeme dlike nearly an hour. as for getting back, i had my head leaning out the window the entire way, in snow.

This post kind of pissed me off. It seems like you're trying to trivialize drunk driving. "It's no big deal, shit I got home and just went to bed, just like I do every weekend." |

Why are you Debbie Downers bringing the drunk driving thread down with all your stories of death and stuff. Let's keep this on track and get back to the happy/funny drunk driving stories. |

One of my best friends, Andy, was killed on July 20th, 2009 by a drunk driver going 95mph in a huge 03 Silverado.
The drunk hid from cops on foot for four hours... and when the coast guard chopper found him hiding in the bushes at six in the morning, he still blew a 0.16 BAC (which is
sloppy drunk).
Seeing Andy Sr. (who was maimed in the crash as well) being wheeled into the church for the funeral, and hearing him sob, "it should've been me", was one of the most heart piercing things I've even been though.
Found this write-up on google.

Sorry if my story isn't funny/cool enough for the topic. |

There was a lady in my town who was found passed out at the wheel of her vehicle after it went off the road and into a snow bank. When they got her to the hospital and did a blood test for her BAC, it was .72. She was comatose in the hospital for three days before finally waking up. The .72 was the highest BAC ever in the county, and the highest non-fatal BAC on record in the state. According to a couple of doctors that I talked to about it, there was basically no way that she should have been alive. I don't even understand how someone that drunk could even get in a car, start it, and drive any distance at all. Crazy. |

Texting or talking on the cell phone is not worse than drunk driving. |

I would guess that it started with "friends." |

Except the studies that show that it impairs you as much or more.
edit: I'm going to add on to this to stem the tide of responses. Yes, I know that texting takes a few seconds or minutes and then, so long as you start paying attention again, you're back to being a sober driver. However, during that time you're essentially as impaired or worse than a drunk driver. During that time if something goes wrong then you're in an accident. During that time, to send a message that I guess just couldn't wait, you're endangering everyone around you. So, it's not quite an apples to apples comparison, but for short bursts it is. |
