Unfortunately I understand concepts like not owning a car if you're an alcoholic. This has severely limited my ability to pull off totally fricking awesome moves like this.
Drunk drivers are unironically the most protected class in our society. In Oregon there's some rule where your first DUI is kept secret. Any other alleged misdemeanor even if you don't get convicted? Allegedly get caught with a speck of meth, get in a fight, argue with your girlfriend too loud, shoplift a can of beer, that is on your record for life. But there's a special law to protect drunk drivers' reputations.

I knew this guy, he was on like his 5th DUI. Really fun guy to hang out with. But he decided to take a whole bunch of xanax and then drunk drive again. The look on his face when he got sentenced.
Neighbor pls, eventually you have to stop doing this shit. (It was 6 months prison upstate IIRC.)
Between semesters of college, I worked at a place that mostly hired ex-cons because they'd work for cheap, and they hired a lot of drunk drivers because they were non-violent. Every single one had double-digit DUI's and none of them had any intention of stopping. I'm not sure if I should be disgusted or admire their perseverance.
This is the one that always gets me. He's gonna crash a car into us at 70mph and kill my children but at least when he does it it's "nonviolent" because.... uhhh... the media says so.
"Non-violent" in the sense that they probably weren't going to pull a knife on someone else on the jobsite. The owners didn't really care about that other stuff as long as you showed up for your shift and looked busy.

It's unfortunate that women are smart enough to have their own AA meetings because I would be breaking up 20 marriages a week if they were in my group.

Get so consistently fricked up for a long time that you can't be sober without sweating and shaking so bad that strangers walk up to you and ask if you need an ambulance.
Do you actually get the shakes? I used to get the sweats years ago (actual years, not boozer years) when I was an all day erryday boozer, but they were hard to distinguish from the fact that I'd naturally sweat in an igloo in Alaska, so it didn't stand out to anyone as unusual.
It's a real phenomenon. It's been said that for some people, there's been days where they're trying to cut back and they can't shave because they can't hold the razor.
I have a mild tremor from birth, so my hands shake slightly even if I've been sober for a year. Drinking a ton and then stopping suddenly definitely makes it worse, but not to a noticeable degree or anything. It's possible I'm just better adapted to hiding it than someone that didn't experience it until they started drinking though.
Back in my boozing days my hands would get a little shakey but mostly anytime i was sober id get super jittery and paranoid. And id sweat through my shirt.
I was under the impression that dating within AA is super duper turbo mega against the rules
Which makes sense from a VuLnErAbLe fOiDs standpoint but at the same time seems like it would be the only non-awkward and most reliable way to find a partner that is equally self-banned from drinking :/

There is a good reason for this. Relationships between addicts are not always helpful. If you're used to interacting with people when you're drunk, that becomes a pattern that's really hard to break away from. When you get two people who are both like that together, it's even harder.
I mean ffs the entire time I've been on rDrama it's been me being drunk interacting with drunk people and see where that's gotten me.

Eliza Loftus had two previous convictions for driving under the influence
Looks like they have the same as the US. I figured that it would be like the other lame European countries that have like a .01. Anyway, being able to function at .215 is full blown alcoholic territory.

She did more than just crash her car! She took out a row of cars at 4:40am. Two previous DUIs and all she gets is a 40 month driving ban?

I think it should depend on if your DUI resulted in an accident.
If you can hold your liquor and still drive safe, why should you be punished?

I like Doug Stanhope's idea where you should get to take your driver's exam drunk and if you pass, that's the BAC you're legally allowed to drive at.
