30 years ago it was more of a “no harm, no foul” attitude. People would regularly drive around while actively drinking and mostly were not bothered.

Then organizations like Mothers Against Drunk Driving did a lot of lobbying and got politicians to make more laws and police to actively enforce them.

Now the blood alcohol limits before you can be arrested for DUI are fairly low.

Drunk drivers hurt other people because of their selfish stupidity

You’re fucking dense

Typical fucking yank. “I’m fine, so fuck everyone else” while being too stupid to know that you’re not fine.

  Nothing they said indicates they think drink driving is OK, just that people used to view it like that.
