Maybe euthanasia was a poor choice of words, but we don't really have another word for protracted suicide by drink. In a rural setting, calling the law isn't a good option, since it might take an hour or two to get them there. I'm looking for ideas for frontier justice, and "stocks" in the woods might be a good idea.
    I have an acquaintence, in the wrecker business (trucks that tow off broken cars and trucks), who caught a guy breaking into his house one night, through the bathroom window. He went outside the house and stuck a 357 revolver up his hieny, and cocked it. The guy was about half way through the window at the time.
    He called a buddy on his wrecker phone, got a wrecker, made the guy tell them where his car was. All three got in the wrecker, hooked-up the thief's car, took it off on one of the mountains, set it afire. Then, they came back into town, made the guy strip naked, and kicked him out just before 7 AM rush hour traffic in downtown Chattanooga.
    A solution like that would be appropriate. As for drunk drivers,
lock-em-up and throw away the key.
