<p>I’d like to get back to the original question, “What is my opinion about this drinking issue?” For myself I didn’t really appreciate the enormity of the issue of drinking and driving until I met someone who had been the drunk driver in an accident that resulted in multiple fatalities. Of all the ramifications, including prison time and the unlikelihood of ever being hired for a good job, the worst part for this person is having to live with the knowledge that he was the cause of this terrible accident. He was quite young when it happened too.</p>
<p>I’d like to reiterate mimk6’s suggestion from post #70 that you find some avenue for your son to hear a first hand account from someone who was involved in a drunk driving accident.</p>
