Please don't drink and drive tonight!

Thread Starter 
From the Baltimore Sun:

Police in Ohio charged a 24-year-old construction worker with five counts of aggravated vehicular homicide today after he was involved in an auto accident last night in which five members of a Maryland family died -- including an eight-week-old baby girl.

A charging document filed with the Toledo Municipal Court said that Michael P. Gagnon, whose pickup truck "ripped off the passenger side" of the minivan carrying the family, was shown after a test in a hospital to have had a blood-alcohol level of .254 percent, more than three times the legal limit.
====

Go out, get large, puke in your girlfriend's pillow case, then put it back on the bed hoping that she won't notice, but please please please please please don't drink and drive.

Just withdraw an extra $40, fold it up and tuck it behind your credit cards in your wallet, and be ready to call a cab if that "just one drink" turns into two or three.

You'll be glad you did.

Thanks,
FC

I'm going to throw up on my friend's Rock Band drums. That's my one goal for tonight.

For a second, a split second, I thought this was going to be one of those chain letters about Jesus not wanting you to drink and drive. I should know this place is better than that.

I'll be prancing around my apartment, as to whether or not I have pants on is anyone's guess.

As a victim of a holiday drunk driver, I support this thread whole-heartedly. I also plan on yakking while playing Rock Band, Alan.

Yes. Stay home and drink hard liquor. It's the only way to start the new year.

I will attempt to pack for moving while simultaneously attempting to wreck my liver. Hijinks will most definitely happen now or when I unpack later.

In my city they give free cab rides home between 6pm - 6am

If you are going out and live in a small city you might want to check if this service is in your area (call local news station).

Hosting a party here tonight, and I have guest rooms and spare sofas. Ain't nobody goin' noplace.

I've never had a DUI, but I've deserved them on more than one occasion. I resolved years ago never to drive drunk again, and I've managed to keep that resolution to this day.

So bottoms up, people, and don't forget to tip that cabbie!

I'm not much of a drinker, I never stay out late on NYE anyway, and I stay fucking clear of Times Square because I specifically don't want to be out with the loud obnoxious drunks. Nothing makes my heart sink faster than hearing from an out of town friend who says "Hey! I'm going to be in NYC for New Years!" Because that means only one thing, my friends - they're gonna want to be present in Times Square to see the ball drop. And they're gonna want to share that special moment with me. So my version of "Happy Quiet New Years" has, for the past 12 years, consisted of me, my best friend and whomever wants to tag along with us going for dinner and a movie, and then home no later than 11 PM. This year is Thai food and Sweeney Todd!
I'd love to visit NYC for new year's, but I would want no part of that mess. Who in their right mind honestly thinks being herded in like cattle in the cold is fun. Plus, the numerous stories I've heard of people standing in puddles of urine is disgusting.

Uhh..that being said, don't drive and drive kids.

Kinda like Mardi Gras. You do it once, just to say you did.

Was the drunk driver unrelated to the street racers? 'Cause if so they all deserved to die. If the drunk driver was one of the street racers they still deserved to die.

As you can tell I hate street racers and drunk drivers. They all deserve to die.

They one the race, but failed at life.

As someone who's been out on the race track a few times, I have absolutely no respect for street racers.

Here in Vancouver we get free bus and skytrain rides all night, it's pretty cool. Especially since we have a fairly reliable public transit system (as much as Translink sucks) there's really no excuse for anyone to drink and drive ever when there are dozens of free buses going by.

I'll be topping all of you. I'll probably be having sex when the clock strikes midnight. Well I should be, unless there's children around and then it'll just be chilling on the sofa wishing a toast to all.

That is what I was hoping they would do here. Sure they offer free cab rides but no telling how long you have to wait. If the bus services were available more people would make it home safer.

Friends are having a party about a three minute walk away from our place. We'll be walking.

As a counter to all the people playing Rock Star tonight, we'll be jamming on real instruments most of the night. Lots of scotch, a keg of Traditional Ale, 12 bar blues, funny hats and tremendously awesome food.

Have fun all. Hope everyone makes it home safe and sound.

Amen. It is also one of what my friends and I refer to as "Rookie Nights." The others? St. Pats, Cinco De Mayo, Halloween.

I can't understand why some still get a DUI. I had that feeling of invincibility myself when I was younger, and I got one. Thankfully no one was injured or hurt. I do have a family now, and have no idea how I would react if they succumbed to a drunk driver.

Please be safe, it is not hard to put some money aside for a cab. Alot cheaper than what could happen.

L.A. County is also doing the "Free Rides" thing but I believe it's just til 2am. So I feel sorry for the bastard who got the last MetroRail that drops him off in Inglewood at 2am.


I already did all my driving. I'm back home, have a couple Martinis in me and am just waiting for the family to get the hell out so I can go back to COD4 later tonight.

I went out tonight (by taxi, it only costs as much as one drink, you losers!), but couldn't get a single friend to leave their home to do anything resembling a social experience. On the bright side, I went home with three girls (although I lacked the cojones to actually try to close the deal with all three at once)... On the dark side, am I justified in now deleting all my friends from my cell phone? Because my internal (semi-drunk) monologue makes me think I am!

Here's hoping he wasn't reenacting that one scene from Silence of the Lambs.

I myself just went to sleep, woke up and had that same feeling I have every year when it's a new year.

I hate going to bed drunk. I don't sleep well and when I wake up, I'm still fucking drunk and hungover all at once. So I got back from party hopping at 4 am and didn't go to bed until 6.

I didn't get drunk for the first New Years in... a long-ass time, thanks to being sick as a dog(a sweating/shaking/whimpering dog). On the plus side, I'm not hungover. But I might as well be, considering how I feel.

I did drive a car though. Yippee!
