Who did you claim was driving? Or did you lie and say it was stolen?
I gotta quit drinking.

i admitted I was driving. It was lightly snowing. They got me for failure to maintain, leaving the scene, and I had to pay the power company for the pole. They showed up at my house within a hour, I declined to answer the door. They tracked me down at my shop at my farm the next day. I had no trouble admitting fault and facing the consequences, I just really didn’t need an Owi

Had a friend crash and just kept drinking till they showed up. He told them he crashed then had some beers. They couldn’t tell if he was drunk prior to or not. Even if he was there was no way to know if he was over the limit.
He got a too fast for conditions ticket. Unfortunately, he didn’t learn a good lesson and stop. He learned to carry an emergency 6 pack in the car.
Well I really should’ve known better when it came to drinking. A grandfather and father who were both alcoholics albeit functioning. It’s just the way we were raised in the area, everything was a reason to drink. Myself and all my friends fell right into it in high school, crashing vehicles, getting in trouble, getting into fights, it’s just the way it was.
A guy I grew up with who was and is today a good guy got consumed by the party life even beyond the rest of us and he crossed the center line and hit 4 motorcycle rider head on killing them all. That gave us all a lot of pause back then 15 years ago, we were always afraid of a DUI, not something like that. But it still took me a lot of years to get out of the drinking mindset. I guess I just got to a point where I figured if I was enough of a man to do the things I thought was cool I was man enough to take the jabs and jokes people give me about not drinking. I have never had trouble talking to people, I get told I’m goofy even when I’m sober so drinking can make me too much fun.
I guess I have a lot to say about drinking because I’ve seen so much of it. Booze doesn’t make anything more fun, it really seems like it, but it doesn’t. My real eye opening experience was being around people that were at a party and I was not drinking and driving people home. It just absolutely unravels at a certain point and you see people act really stupid and out of character and I had to think back on all the times I did that. When everyone including yourself is drunk you don’t notice, but when you see it sober it looks like a real nightmare.
