Actually don't drive drunk, not only can you kill someone, you can also lose your license. I'm walking for a year. Got my court date coming up in March. I'm fucked.
$600 fine. $500 fee for a mandatory alcohol abuse course. License gone for a year. $1300 fee after the year is up to have a breathalyzer ignition system installed in my truck, and I probably have to keep it installed for a year. And don't get me started about the insurance premiums, which will no doubt quadruple.
Still, I got off lucky. I was coming home from a party at a friend's house and I got a flat tire. First vehicle to come along to help was a cop. I could have easily killed someone if that tire had blew at high speed.
So don't take chances.
