Yikes, the guy looks like a drug junkie in his photos, I'm guessing he has bigger problems than alcoholism

No it's not though. You may not feel the buzz that you are chasing, but the actual impairment is still real and in place. You may think you're fine, but your not. That's one. And two, once you've had 3, your more likely to have more. And if your willing to drive with 3 when you're sober, you're Likely to drive with 6 when you're drunk. Every drunk driver who ever got behind the wheel thought they were fine. Even the ones who had accidents.

I’m just some random on the internet, but I’m proud you kicked the habit! well done!

They get exposed to Hollywood’s party/drug culture very early, that’s for sure. But I think the home environment is the most critical factor. If you’ve got psycho parents who are trying to live vicariously through you or simply see you as a cash cow, they’re going to fuck you up way more than Hollywood can.

Also, there’s something to be said for the psychological impact of becoming successful, having your “15 minutes of fame,” and then fading into obscurity. That’s got to mess with your self-esteem big time.

I don't think you understand what drug tolerance is.

Europe also has public transit nearly everywhere, so there are actual alternatives.

No, I think you don't. Even in people with high tolerance, low levels of alcohol still impare motor skills, reaction time and inhibitions.

alot of celebrities either get addicted to alochol, cocaine, or prescription drugs and od form some of them.

Extreme penalties like that cause other problems. We should be focusing on rehabilitation, not revenge.

We should also focus on making life less car dependent.

In a LOT of areas, a vehicle is the only way to have a decent job. If you take that away for a single infraction, you're dooming a lot of people to a low standard of living.

A drug tolerance is when your body builds up a resistance to a substance to the point where more is required to produce the same effect. This includes side effects like impairment.

(I live in one of those areas, so I know. It has some public transportation, but it doesn't go through residential areas, so you can only get between business areas, and a little bit of downtown.)

In a perfect world, that alone would solidify the push to be less car dependent, but we can't even rise above Nazis, so that's not happening before there's another digit on the year number.

Driving is clearly better left to professionals, generally speaking. I wish it was all buses driven by people with excellent teaching and capability, but getting that kind of fleet up and running would take a lot of time. Driving would be a huge job market suddenly.

And danger would plummet. No one would need to outrun anyone, or need a nap, or be distracted. You could have a fairly low age of oldest driver as well.

But for now, FAFO.

Oh right, all the studies I read must be wrong then....

Oh most definitely.
