Pretty heady stuff, sad that US broadcaster wouldn't show it before the NFL games or other big watched shows...

There's a dentside in there (to keep it on topic).

Good one! :clap: :thup:

They just recently tried a new program over the Thanksgiving Holiday out here. Instead of just doing sobriety checkpoints, They also brought out additional officers to patrol, specifically looking for erratic driving.
Pretty gutsy move, but it appeared to help lower the rate of drunk related driving issues.
At a time when budgets are under such drastic cuts, that was a major victory.

Thanks for that.
Our laws let the breweries and distilleries push the stuff to kids over the public airwaves.

And drive defensively in the holiday season because theres alot of stressed people this time of year who drive distracted :roll:

I figure it is ok to: #1 Drink, and #2 :drive: . Just never, never do #2 after doing #1. Just relized how that reads. :doh: So I better add: Unless you are on the Loo. :lol:
I agree, be very careful on the roads. Do not drink and drive. :nono: Only morons do it, and a lot of them are doing a heck of a lot of community service for me at the cemetery. ( I've buried more than a few young, and old drunk drivers, and the people they have killed.) It really sucks laying to rest a 2 year old!!!!! :cry:
