Facts about drinking.

In colonial days the average per person consumption of alcoholic beverages was five gallons per year. Men drank more than women, and women often had large numbers of children who also did not drink. Thus the simple logic of math dictates that some men (outnumbered by women and children by between five and ten to one) would have consumed an average of between 25 and 50 gallons of alcohol per year.
The colonialist founding fathers and framers of the Constitution and Bill of Rights were among those that drank most.

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism's official policy under its founding director Dr. Morris Chafetz (professionally involved in the public health and research field for more than half a century, author of nearly 250 articles in professional journals and the popular press and who served on numerous presidential commissions) was that moderation in drinking should be encouraged and that young people should be taught how to consume alcohol moderately.
The Chinese lack an enzyme in their livers that is required to break down alcohol and thus they cannot drink large quantities of liquor comfortably (it causes them to feel a burning sensation all over their bodies and they turn bright red).

You can be given a D.U.I. in your driveway if you are drinking at a party in your house even if you are not driving simply because you have possession of your car-keys. If you are throwing a party at your house and need to take some liquor out of the trunk BRING ONLY your trunk key with you outside. If you are drinking and do not have your ignition key you cannot be convicted of a D.U.I. since you cannot possibly start that or any other car. IF however you do have your key on you, (reportedly from a lawyer) Allegedly you can avoid such a D.U.I. on a technicality by throwing your car keys inside your car and locking them inside and refusing the Breathalyzer. The police can tow your vehicle, but they can't break in to get your keys. You will lose your drivers license for a year for refusing the Breathalyzer, and you will need to hire a lawyer, but you will not be given a D.U.I. Refuse to make any statements and let your lawyer do all the talking.
Do NOT drink and drive. Not all the people who are struck by drunk drivers die. Drinking and good times go together and everyone can have a good time, so if you drink, don't drive. If you have a few beers too many, wait a few hours plus one before you do drive and pay extra special attention to the speed limit, staying in your lane, and obeying all the traffic rules. See the presentation below and learn a lesson you won't want to forget, and if you DO drink and drive and get pulled over, be sure to THANK the policemen, the judge and whoever else you must deal with after that for stopping you before it was too late - if it wasn't too late already.
