How do you feel about drinking and driving? We all know that a cab home can be pretty pricey. At the end of a heavy night it can still be tempting to get behind the wheel. Is it worth the risk?

Have you ever or do you regularly drink and drive? No, I always call a cab.
Are you aware of what the punishments are for DUI offenders? Heavy fine, maybe some jail time and community service.
When you go out in groups, do you have a designated driver or get a cab? Always. We walk or take a cab.

Have you ever or do you regularly drink and drive? No. Of course not, that would be silly.
Are you aware of what the punishments are for DUI offenders? Yes. They involve having things attached to your car to stop you from driving if you have alcohol in your system.
Do you feel that the DUI laws are fair? Yes. I think it''s reprehensible to be driving if you''re drunk.

Are you aware of what the punishments are for DUI offenders? Time in jail.
Do you feel that the DUI laws are fair? I think they are. If you''re drunk you don''t belong on the road, you deserve to be sitting in a jail cell.
When you go out in groups, do you have a designated driver or get a cab? Always. I would designate a driver if I felt I could trust them, but if I was iffy, I''d call a cab.
