I work in a court house and we just had a sentencing today on a kid who killed his best friend cuz they were drunk and he was driving. He, his family, the other boy's family and all of their friends are devastated. And... he will be serving 6 months in jail and 400 hrs of community service including student education.
Not worth it.
Thank you Connie and you are right - it wasn't meant to shock anyone. This lovely young girl has had her life changed forever because of a drunk driver - that person needn't be an alcoholic either, just a person who, like you say, may have had that one drink too much. Have a safe New Year one and all.
