My first girlfriend was killed by a drunk driver when I was 16 and she was 15. She was on the sidewalk and the car hopped the curb. The person that hit her tried to drive away, but ran into a wall about 1/2 block away and was caught.
Sorry....I know it's your sister and all, but I hope they throw the book at her and put her in jail for a little while..... maybe she will learn her lesson and not ruin peoples lives by killing someone that they love.
Everybody drives buzzed once in a while, but if you don't learn after your first DWI, then I say.....Jail time. That'll wake your ass up.
Of course, you could just pander to her ass and hope that she doesn't end up in state pen for manslaughter.

It's manditory jail time... don't worry about that.
Good!
I'ts a shame that she isn't in Phoenix AZ, she would be doing her time in the tents. I had a friend that DUIed there, no TV, no Gym, day old baloney sandwichs, freeze at night, roast during the day.....people begging to get on the chain gangs just to have something to do.
and the whole thing saves the taxpayers big bucks....
Since that time, he will NEVER EVER drink and drive again. This was 6 years ago and he is still super careful

SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
I vote for beat the living crap out of her. She could have KILLEd someone.
Okay, okay , so I don't really condone violence. But DO NOT help her out. The reason people drive drunk more than once is because they don't learn their lesson the first time. Some people are so hard-headed they need to learn the hard way.
I'll probably get flamed for going against the flow, but I'd suggest giving her some support. Since this is very likely a problem of alcoholism, not just isolated bad judgement, I'd suggest that you try getting involved with her treatment. If she's reluctant to go to an AA meeting or counseling or other program, for example, offer to go with her...even push to go with her, whether she's reluctant or not. You'll learn more about the problem yourself, which can aid you in understanding and trying to help her. Group meetings have people there who are clean, and those who are still struggling, along with loved ones sometimes there for support...it's a sympathetic crowd. Her life is going to be shitty enough with the courts and revoked driving and jail (if you're sure that's mandatory on a 2nd offense...it isn't everywhere) and possible loss of employment or school standing. She could use some support in trying to overcome the root problem. I'm not saying coddle her and tell her it was no big deal, it was and is a big deal, but turning a cold shoulder is likely to make matters even worse. You have an opportunity to try and help her. She's family, and while it is irritating someone would do that, for her sake I hope you get over the anger and try to help her out.
