Argument: To drink or not to drink

So a few of my friends have recently been unfortunate to be detained for drinking under the influence. For most of us social drinkers, we have all had a few too many and driven home. For the most part, when I was younger, I didn't know anyone who had a DUI. Now as I'm lurking toward thirty, it seems as though I have a sign on my forehead every time I have a drink or two and drive. Why is that? Is this my conscious coming out from the wood work at thirty?

My friend now has one of those breathalyzer thingies in his car that doesn't let him drive when he has had alcohol. I guess it's smart enough to know how hard you usually blow and when you don't blow as hard it yells "BLOW HARDER, HUM LOUDER." WHOA! PERVERTED MACHINE! I guess the law does allow for some blowing here and there. We thought it would be funny if we wrote this in shoe polish all over his car, that way everyone else knew what his car was yelling. I told him that first dates would be harder now since he can't have a drink to calm down and he'll have to show the girl how well he "blows" right from the start.
