Before you drink and drive, consider the financial costs of getting caught

[wiegie]

Twenty thousand dollars sounds like a lot to pay for a drink at a holiday party, but if that last cocktail puts you over the legal limit, that "one for the road" could easily cost you that or more.

 

That surprises me--I had just sort of guessed that a first-time offender might have to pay a couple hundred dollars or something.

Because you keep hitting that same joke over and over... it ceases to be funny from you for some reason.

 

My friends can still make jokes about it at my expense, and I'll laugh.

 

But you've worn it out. Sorry.
