Usually my husband & I don't do much we are usually at his parents house & their isn't much to do around there. Like last year we went & saw a late show of Chronicles of Narnia & then went home & went to bed. This year we are going to be home for New Years & we get to attend my friends new years party. There will be drinking, but my husband will DD for us & we only live about 2 miles from each other on back rounds so we should get home safe.
-Just a side note people that drink & drive really upset me, a guy I work with will never get his license back because he's had 3 DUI's I refuse to give him rides to work even on crappy days because I believe he needs to be punished. He totaled 2 cars while drunk by running off the road & he doesn't even feel bad about it. What if he had killed someone? A good friend of mines aunt & uncle were just killed by a drunk driver on the way home from church. I just don't get what goes through peoples minds. If you have to drive home, don't drink period. It's really not that hard. I usually drive myself places if I'm going without my husband because I don't trust anyone, but me to stay sober & get me home. Sorry to go off on a trangent, but people that drink & drive really piss me off.

I totally agree with you there is an old chap in our road who was banned and still drank and drove, I told the police who put a watch on him and was caught again and banned a further year. They did not put him in prison ( this was his third bann)as he was old well I'm sorry old or not he should not have been driving.
Another thing is we should not drive whilst tired a friend was killed when a lorry driver fell asleep at the wheel and drove straight into my friend.
We do have lots of campaigns here against drink drive and drive whilst tired hopefully so people take heed.
