It seems to me that there’s some weird propaganda going on in this thread. I’ve only ever known one person who has driven while drunk and the only reason I know that is that he confessed it out of deep shame.

I guess it’s possible that everyone I know is out joyriding every time they drink and just not telling me, but assuming that’s not true, I - being from and in the US - never really experienced a culture remotely supportive of drunk driving.
