Yes to all. I wish you had asked: Do you know anyone who drove drunk and killed someone else? I noticed someone volunteered this information–so I will too. A good friend of mine drove drunk and killed a family of 4. He died also. Devastating to everyone who knew him and who knew the family. ---

A good friend of mine drove drunk and killed a family of 4. He died also. Devastating to everyone who knew him and who knew the family. I wanted to ask also. One of my school friends, had a friend asleep in his car. Stopped of for a few beers on the way home. Later fell asleep at the wheel himself and killed said friend. ---

1. No. 2. Drunk and drugged, both separatedly and together. 3. No. 4. No, but I do know people who’ve been injured by someone drunk (the weapons of choice didn’t happen to include cars). I also know someone who got injured while sleeping it off in the back of the car (they got T-boned by another driver, who was drunk hence this same accident is part of my “yes” to number 2); someone who, while being the designated driver, had to stop on the side of the road because his friends wouldn’t stop clowning about (including hitting the sober driver on the back of the head), and some guys whose driver got drunk and who proceeded to head home in his car with an unlicensed driver (the cops saw them going much slower than usual, helped them get home and reminded them of the existence of those funny things called “taxis”). ---

But my son’s mother-in-law was killed by a drunk driver long before he met his wife (she was 14 when her mother was killed). ---
