I know drinking and driving has been a thing for decades but it’s clearly much worse in recent years. It’s not just someone getting pulled over for 1 too many drinks at the bar anymore. The common DUI now involves multiple empty bottles in their car and then the cops find 5 other drugs stashed away and possibly an illegal firearm.
