I know you think I'm just busting your balls but I'm really not. I'm 52 and I myself felt EXACTLY like you do now... but it was back when I was in my 20's.

In fact we used to buy these plastic cling labels that when wrapped around a beer can made it look like a Mountain Dew or Pepsi can just so it was easier to drink & drive. And I just like you also thought the exact same thing... that I was a lot more careful when I was drinking and driving and it was ok.

But then there were times when I knew I was really just lucky I didn't get pulled over on the way home from the bar because I felt the effects and I knew I was weaving. Never got caught... never in a drinking accident... never got a DWI.

But then in college I was T-boned by a drunk driver running a really red red light and it almost killed me. Caved my 65 Mustang passenger side door in all the way to my drivers seat. My head whipped over & knocked out the drivers side window... the car then spun all the way across the intersection and hit a car in the turning lane throwing me up into the windshield knocking a perfect hole in it with the top of my head... seatbelts weren't a big deal back in the 70's.

Anyway I survived but I had to rehab so long, seemed like about a year before I felt pretty alright, that it ended me continuing to play college basketball.

So yes I care... about you and everyone else. Be careful.
