No but it’s stupid people are so gung-ho about driving after having a couple but never say anything or have those strong stances about texting and driving when:

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), driving a vehicle while texting is six times more dangerous than intoxicated driving. ... Another study stated that texting drivers react 23 percent slower than intoxicated drivers do.

Texting While Driving: Is It As Dangerous As Drunk Driving?

Read the surprising answer and different penalties for each.
www.stewartlawoffices.net www.stewartlawoffices.net

then there’s also the people in their pain killers, Xanax, or whatever other medications that no one ever blasts. Either have the stance for everything or stop cherry picking

all of them are wrong yet I find it unreasonable the only ones who get the wrath of society are the ones who drink

Do we need to write every single thing that is bad to do while driving now? The coach drove while drunk--of course that's what the thread is about. He didn't text and drive, take a handful of Xanax, or ride a unicycle in the driver's seat either. If he had, we could disparage people who do any of those things.

What a terrible take.

At larger than 220 you are below .08 with 2 beers and unless you’re a lightweight 2 beers an hour you shouldn’t feel a thing.

there’s research that shows that people who drive “drunk” more often and starting at younger age are less likely to get a as DUI because they are conditioned.

the whole scale is so absurd. Alcohol affects people differently. I’ve been with people of same weight where one is stumbling and slurring after 5 drinks and the other person could drink a fifth of whiskey and pass the roadside olympics fly a plane and do anything another person could do sober

You are correct about there being a delta between what a person may feel and what they have in their body for a BAC. There's a reason there is a term functioning alcoholic and wet brains. I think they're both BS terms, but that's me.
Problem I see is many who grew up in late 70's and early 80's when DUI's starting becoming a thing and people started caring about it was the threshold for beers was 12 oz of 3%-4%. Nowadays bars and restaurants think nothing of 16 oz or 22 oz servings and if you're getting an 8% DIPA, even a 220 lbs dude can be at .08 after two "drinks".
 
Peoria, Illinois, home of my alma mater, Bradley University. I arrived in the fall of '80 a few years before I arrived the administration decided to ban all alcohol on campus and in the frats. The semester before I arrived a senior, who was class president, died in a one car/one person crash coming home from a bar. He was driving drunk. The administration reversed their policy immediately and we happily did all our partying on foot. Peoria, hometown of comedians Richard Pryor and Sam Kinison, baseballs Jim Thome, and musician Dan Fogelberg. I enjoyed my four years at Bradley but I could never recommend going out of your way to visit Peoria (unless you do business with Caterpillar).

Nobody in this thread is talking about how reckless it is to pull a heist and drive through the streets of Rio de Janeiro with a large bank safe tethered to the back of their cars but it was glorified in the 2011 film “Fast 5”. Seems irresponsible to not bring up this hypocrisy.
 
Why someone on top of their profession makes such a self-defeating decision...odd. On a side note, the Coeur d'Alene Resort is terrific with a golf course that is off the charts - highly recommend. Has an island green that you have to ride a boat out to get to.

Lol. I've been to Peoria exactly once, and for that exact reason.

I don't know if it's still the case, but driving on I55 to Chicago, seemed to me the average traffic flow was about 90mph. As if people couldn't get away from there fast enough :D

Didn't know that. My brother lives about 60 miles east of Portland, OR and he did say the farther east you go in Oregon and Washington the more wackos there are. I guess this is what he was talking about.

I would posit the same can be said going west into Portland. Have u been paying attention the past few years?

Worst earthquake I ever felt was in Peoria back in 2008. Was staying at some older turn of the century hotel about 10-12 floors up and it felt like there were train tracks running through the hotel. Pretty much a helpless feeling. Never went back. They also had massive worms that would come out on the roads and sidewalks after it rains.

So, Peoria to me is earthquakes and giant worms.

Peoria is definitely known for earthquakes and their massive worms. Caterpillars too...

+100000. Likewise, it's irresponsible to ignore how dangerous is to drive your Lambo home from the country club on qualuudes.

So, query which is worse?
  • Idaho
  • Peoria
  • Drunk driving
  • Potatoes
  • White supremacy
  • Mark Few's lapse in judgment

You forgot texting.

My vote would be drunken white supremacists who text while driving.

A white supremist, driving drunk in Peoria while on their way to Idaho in order to get advice from Mark Few...may as well get some potatoes while they are there.

Just make sure your Lambo doesn't run over an earthworm or a caterpillar.

Texting?

Everyone keeps forgetting texting. He was so jacked up on the thought of a face-to-face with Mark Few that he started texting him during the trip.
 
LOL people need to stop being so pathetic. Just because you are white and own guns does not mean you are a "white supremacists".

I know plenty of software engineers, IT and dot.com people in Cali that own and like to shoot guns.

Of course sofrware engineers and people in every other profession own guns and enjoy shooting but what does that have to do with Idaho having a large white supremacist and separatist community?
