DUI Checkpoint Expected after 8/24 Preseason Game

[Fish]

Heads up for those attending tonight's preseason game. I've been told by some people supposedly in the know, that KC's finest will have DUI checkpoints up at several locations around KCMO. They'll be paying close attention to the game traffic leaving the stadium.

Arrange for a DD. Be careful after the game everybody!

It takes one dumbass to wipe you and your family off the planet, permanently. If you're stupid enough to be one of those dumbasses who think that it's fine and dandy to have a few beers and get behind the wheel, you deserve everything the KCPD has to offer you.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I don't believe in drinking during Royals, and especially Chiefs games. Not because I don't want a DUI, but because I'd rather enjoy the sport under full consciousness.

If I'm watching a Chiefs game and I've had 3 or 4 beers in me, I can tell a difference, and I cant see the details quite as well. Just not a fan of watching sports while drinking.

Now if it's 35-3 in the 4th quarter I might not give a ****, and open up a can.

Pretty much the same here. If a game is the vehicle you need to get the suds to your mouth, you may not enjoy the actual sport as much as you think you do.

Exactly.
