I was taking a friend home Wednesday evening when on the radio was a commercial type thing that reported a Sophomore in Lake Travis High School was in a drunk driving accident. He had 2 friends with him who were killed instantly when they hit another car head on, the driver of the other vehicle was killed as well. The only surviving person was the student that was drunk, due to the burns from the accident, he has no nose and ears, nor does he have ANY use of his hands, has NO hair, and his face was completely destroyed. 40 surgeries to this student has not helped over the years.
My friend whom I was taking home stated that she went to high school with him and knows him personally. After the ad was over we had kept talking about it and she stated that the student drunk driver was 5 times over the legal Texas limit for alcohol consumption. She also stated that for killing 3 people while being 5 times over the legal limit got him 7 years...ONLY 7 YEARS...in Huntsville (Texas' state prison just north of Houston). Another story. I recently had a temporary bar job. The first day there was a story going that the bar owner told us that needs to be taken to heart. One of the regulars to the bar left one night and was in a car wreck. I do not know the damage of what happened but he was in the hospital for 1.5 weeks. Legally it was the bars job to take his keys away. After that night I have seen several times where the bartenders do take the keys away until the customer is sober. The moral of these true stories is I do not care if you drink...but give up your keys if you drove. Be responsible, be an adult. If you drink you take on these responsibilities automatically.
