You Have To Drive To Drink
That’s the sad truth for most of America, it seems. Restaurants and bars are often located far away from where you live, and the only way to get there is to drive. You go watch a football or baseball or basketball game, you plow a couple of 32-ouncers, you might treat yourself to some wings - thus managing to convince yourself that you’re not ‘buzzed’ - and then you drive home drunk - and maybe one day you injure or kill someone:
I continue to hope that someone smarter than me will dream up some way we can use the relative safety of riding drunk vs. driving drunk to our advantage - socially, politically, financially, and otherwise. I’m not about to recommend riding drunk, but if you have to choose between the two - yes, ride, don’t drive.
How many people drive drunk in their death monsters every single day and night in San Francisco? 1,000? 10,000? More?
I see them spilling out of the bars and clubs all the time - all red-faced - wobbly. Hey - where are the car keys? Hey - there they are - let’s go for a drive, baby! Me? Yeah - I’m fine - I ate some buffalo wings.
Outlaw motorists, man.

I recommend riding drunk. It is a lot of fun.
