    No the limits were upped in not back before it was a crime at all, but around the year 2000. The same time they tightened a lot fo things up.

    Mothers against drunk driving and the like a generation or more prior made it a more serious offense, before that it wasn’t always considered as big of a deal as you are referring to, idk pre 1970s or what.

      We’re agreeing with the reality that it wasn’t considered a crime or a big deal in generations past. Where we’re a huge gulf of disagreement is if this was a problem or not. I am flabbergasted about the strong defense you’re putting up to be able to drink and drive.

      May I ask if you or your family have ever been negatively affected by a drunk driver before?
