You don't even have to be drunk to fuck up a life.
My Aunt and nephews were rear ended at 60mph, they were at a stop SIGN in a RESIDENTIAL area, the guy hitting them was on a laptop.
She suffered 3rd degree burns over 70% of her body, her Husband (My uncle through marriage) pulled her out of the flaming car when he noticed "the kids weren't crying anymore"... A neighbor in the area put them out with his hose. My aunt died later in the hospital and my uncle isn't allowed to have guns anymore because he's suicidal.
Doing anything other than paying attention while you're driving is fucking stupid. Car's are extremely powerful.
I'm glad you're ok, physically and legally, and I really hope you don't do anything again, while I sympathize for your situation and know how lucky you are, think about that little girl you have, she could have grown up without a dad, either because he was in jail for vehicular manslaughter, or because he killed himself driving drunk.
Sorry to be so serious, I know people get way more wasted and drive... I just know quite a few people besides my aunt who have died in car accidents, when they did nothing wrong.
