This is not at all surprising to me. A study of 14,000 binge drinkers found that 12 percent admitted driving after their most recent episode of heavy alcohol consumption, the Associated Press reported Sept. 1. I would actually bet the real percentage is more like 35-40% but not that many people would actually admit it. How many people do you know who are actually responsible enough to make travel arrangements other than driving home 100% of the time. My anecdotal sense of it is that most all binge drinkers have driven home drunk on more that one occasion. I have to ask, will they think it is worth it when the odds eventually catch up to them and they end up being a drunk driving casualty or hurt somebody else.
