So glad to be home...

Iowanian is correct. And my heart goes out to milkman and his insurmountable losses.

I lost an old girlfriend one night when she asked me to drive her home from a party, but I refused. She ended up driving herself and flipped her jeep over a few times on Metcalf. I have to live with that decision for the rest of my life, and the loss of an old girlfriend I grew up with.

That could've been you, sedated. You just don't realize it. I'm not going to be as harsh as the others 'cause the fact of the matter is- I was just like you- A LOT. And when I mean, A LOT, I mean damn near every night.

I'm not going to tell you to go get help or anything like that- just do the right thing and know that when you've had too much- don't drive! Period. There are several alternatives to driving yourself home totally intoxicated. I used to take the keys away from friends of mine who were too drunk. I'd MAKE them stay the night at our place if we had peeps over drinking. If they insisted on being home, we would then call them a cab and I'd bring them their keys the next day.

Just a few months ago, some dude lost his entire family while crossing the street in LoDo. The drunken driver ran his truck over the guy's wife, his five-year son, and his 3-year old daughter. It was a horrific scene. That poor guy has no family now because of someone else's ignorance and blatant stupidity.

You live n OPKS, so do a lot of my family and friends. Drive home drunk next time and kill one of them, and I'll make milkman look like a saint compared to the lashing I'll give you then.
