I didn't intend to have my post fuel an argument about alcoholism but some of
the responses have been really ignorant.

If you think it's logical to associate how many times someone has been caught
drinking while driving with how much they actually do it then you have a
serious judgement problem.

My friend IS an alcoholic. He drives drunk every night after 5 shots minimum.
He's been pulled over 4 times and been let go. He has no DUI's. Now that is
good luck. I have the opposite luck. My second dui was the first and only time
I drank before driving since my first one. The cop was waiting in the parking
lot of teh bar for it to close (can you say entrapment?).

**** happens sometimes! I drink maybe once every two weeks. Maybe some may
consider that alcohol abuse but I don't.

Thanks to those who stayed on topic and gave me some helpful advice I
appreciate it.
