There is no excuse for drunk driving. There is no new information that the driver didn't have. He absolutely knew the risk. My heart goes out to the families of those who die at the whim of these egomaniacs who somehow think themselves exempt from the effects of alcohol on judgment. I have <i>zero</i> sympathy for the driver.

I have zero sympathy for the driver.

How many times do people have to be warned about the dangers of alcohol consumption then getting on the road? Just last week a guy ran off the road and into the home of two senior citizens who were sleeping in their bedroom in their Missouri City home. More attrition. Both died. Their sons were at home at the time of the deaths. How sad and unfortunate. Drinking and driving is hideous.
