Breathalyzed

I'm on the road. All day, every day. Making money in bars.

Driving home.

Moderation is another post for another day.

but Lately it seems that DUI victims are all around me.

I've come to the conclusion that if The Man really didn't want us to drink and drive then there would be a Zero Tolerance policy.

This nonsense of Blood Alcohol Concentration seems completely arbitrary to me. What .08 means to me and you are totally different. Plus, you can cross state lines (arbitrary boundaries) and now you're cool up to .09 - or maybe you're already busted because the new number is .06 or less...

You drank, you drove. It's either OK to do that, or not OK. Right?

If new cars can come equipped with fancy GPS machines, state of the art speakers and iPod integration, I would think that a simple breathalyzer next to the steering wheel would be Easy.

Give a quick blow. The machine would say,

You're Good to Go

or

Take It Slow, Brother

or

Chill out for an hour before you drive

or

Take A Cab, Man... Please.
