I know how to cut down on drunk drivers.
Automatically revoke their license for a year for the first offense, along with a heavy fine, community service, AA meetings, etc etc. No if's, and's, or butt's. Maybe some of them would think a little more about their actions then.

Every one messes up once or twice and has to much to drink, as long as they dont drive it isnt an issue. Most of the times its the one person in the group that gets ***** to the wall wasted and the rest have to take care of him or her. I can see them using this against some one drunk and mouthing off.

Not suprising, probably be overturned soon. The crackdown was done to prove a point, not to be set in effect forever. Unfortunately, that point will probably be lost amongst all the uproar and thats a shame. Theres only one solution to the problem, too bad it will never happen.

The worst thing about Dallas is no good public transportation. When I lived in LA we could take a cab anywhere get drunk and then take a cab back and cost a few dollars. In Dallas to take a cab back to Denton would be a few hundred bucks.

I guess you've been keeping up with California news. I sure would hate yo have that plate on my car.
TABC is BS. I bought 4 cases of beer because I live in a dry county. Its a 30 min drive to get to palestine to buy alcohol so obviously it makes more sense for one person to go and buy more so you dont have to go back all the time.
TABC officer is pulls us over right when were getting into smith county and gives us a bootlegging ticket. He said since myfriend was under 21 he could have given him an MIP for driving too. My friend got the ticket because he was driving and transporting it. Apparently you cant have more than a case per person.
He took over $100 worth of alcohol, called us liars and insulted us and told us I wasnt born yesterday wheres the party Im gonna take you to jail.
Im from wisconsin goin to school down here, its like living in the book 1984 with BS laws like this. I've loved Texas so far but not oppressive laws like this. This was age discrimination no doubt, and there was no party, just stocking up for the long drive and helping out friends.
If you go to the grocercy store, you ask your friends if they need anything it doesnt make any sense to tell them they have to come with.
The ticket was $300 to top it off and it goes on my friends new criminal record. Thanks TABC for enforcing religious zealots through Texas law!

Texas led the nation with fatalities involving a driver with a blood alcohol level above the legal limit of .08 or more with 1,264 in 2004, according to the Mothers Against Drunk Driving Web site.
I like when people throw that kinda stat. out. You cant really compare things on a non-capita basis when you have a state with the landmass Texas has. MADD, isnt that the organization that had a woman president with 2 or 3 DWIs? Really care what they have to say.......... TABC, traffic police, and the IRS, **** them all!

Im all for getting LOADED!!! in a bar or club, AS LONG AS SOMEONE IS A DD! and yes TABC is a bunch of ****, just a bunch of trash people who are given alittle power and let it goto there head
