20. Drunk driving has always been a terrible thing.
Edited on Fri Oct-13-06 07:05 PM by whereismyparty
But it seems that back then it was more...well...tolerated I guess for lack of a better word, than it is today. The old movies or old sit-coms portray a different mindset. The town cop leaning over the stopped car, "Now Harvey, you really shouldn't be driving right now. Why don't you get yourself on home safely to your wife and kids." MADD had not yet been formed and the commercials and public campaign against drunk driving had not yet solidified. So I'm wondering if it was a felony back then to put an intoxicated person behind the wheel? I dunno. Just askin'. :dunce:
