That was his story (I wasn’t there.). He admitted he had been drinking beer all night before driving 30 miles, back home, after last call.

Unfortunately, drinking and driving was ‘tolerated’ back then. Cops would stop drunks, ask them how far they were going, then let them go...

i got my license in 1989. My father put the fear of death in me should I ever get pulled over for DUI (formerly DWI).
