Funny how people change their behaviour, just by being forced into THINKING about the possible consequences.

In the part of Scotland where I live, people always drove to the pub and then drove home on "automatic pilot". It was very common, and folks used to laugh at the various vehicles adorning the ditches on a Saturday or Sunday morning.......Today it is unacceptable to drink and drive and anyone trying it will soon be reported to the police, but it is literally years since I saw a drunk driver.

Its like smoking, a social no-no.

Personally, I've driven under the influence many times when I was younger, but rarely drink nowadays, and NEVER when driving.

Mr Kennedy's real crime was not drink driving....but cowardice!
