I never understand drinking and driving, I think it should be treated as a serious offence. That you want to put your own life in danger is one thing, but it usually involves killing innocent people. You so often hear of children or young people dying because someone was too drunk to drive. You should at least have the presence of mind to get a taxi if you've had too much to drink.
If I go out, I never drink. That is the choice you make if you are driving. I will have a few drinks if I go out to dinner, but then that is a couple of glasses of wine during dinner, with lots of water!
Shocking story, she should be put in jail!
