>>The worst, of course, is drunk driving. I am ashamed to admit it but when I was young (many years ago), I was a drunk driver.

>While I've had my share of wild feats... this is something I never really tried. Had just a couple of mild cases, when I'd had a couple of drinks and thought I was sober - I probably was sober enough to make intelligent conversation, but I'd still notice a few things a tad later. OK, nothing happened, I'm a far looking driver, so that tad later was still on time, but that taught me not to even try to think I can drive with, say, three drinks in me.

>Which eventually meant that when I became a father, I remained sober. Had to drive fresh grandparents around :).
When I became a parent, my drinking and driving year was way past me. And ever since my kids started driving, I became even more vigilant about dangers of drunk driving. I am proud (I know most people do that) that I never once showed my kids a bad example.
