It seems to me that it is assumed that most drink drivers are male. Not so, I don't know about the US but here in the UK there has been a steady rise in female drink drivers involved in fatalities or near fatalities caused by being over the limit. A boy lost his life in a village not far from me, he was 8 years old walking along the pavement on his way home from school. The lady was 38 so old enough to be responsible for what she was doing but she had been drinking lost control of her car which mounted the pavement and the boy was mown down and killed instantly. I don't know what the sentence was but no doubt she will see it in her head over and over again for ever.

Even more disturbing was a case of a mother who claimed she was depressed and had been drinking. She got into the car with her 3 year old daughter who was begging her to stop driving because she was drunk and also because of the speed she was driving! It beggars belief. We are supposed to be the caring gender but when I hear stories like that it makes you wonder.
