  1. lm 1/4 irish via my paternal grandma.
    which is sufficient seeing as pa & 3 older brothers all boozehounds,
    l figured the quota had been met. (a lasting grudge against alcoholics was planted when the alcoholic father of a friend of my brother used the down payment on a birthday bike
    for a bottle of liquor). abt 5 years later lm working at an alcoholic sibling’s body shop on the highway and who would get the highway wrecks. l wondered which one were because of drunk driving.

    l once calculated they went thru $1/4 million in booze alone over the 30 years they were all alive.
    not a teetotaller, but a 6 pack at times lasted all summer.
    smoked weed from the day of legalization until around december when l quit
    for medical and financial reasons.
    l get my jollies making stinging commentary about Liberals, with material and ammunition
    found here. soooooo happy st patty’s day y’all.

    1. I used to watch Tucker before he became a total asshole. Now he is as appealing as herpes or rabies.

  2. In around 20 years of tow truck highway work, I know of one fatality that was alcohol related .. and he might have committed vehicular suicide. Our roadsides back in the 1950-2000 years were littered with booze empties and the biggest problem the drinkers posed was that they drove too slow. I’m not saying that it’s fine for people to DUI but the reaction to it is overblown.
