    30 years ago it was more of a “no harm, no foul” attitude. People would regularly drive around while actively drinking and mostly were not bothered.

    Then organizations like Mothers Against Drunk Driving did a lot of lobbying and got politicians to make more laws and police to actively enforce them.

    Now the blood alcohol limits before you can be arrested for DUI are fairly low.

      Drunk drivers hurt other people because of their selfish stupidity

      You’re fucking dense

      Typical fucking yank. “I’m fine, so fuck everyone else” while being too stupid to know that you’re not fine.

          Their posts reads like drinking used to be accepted and okay but now its not accepted but still okay. Also, it was women that ruined it for us. This is some bullshit Charlie Kirk level of dishonest debate.

            Lol, because I mentioned an organization named Mothers Against Drunk Driving (I didn’t name it that), now I’m against women?

            I lived through the societal change, I was just trying to briefly describe the change. Geez.
