I agree. I always have to plan ahead. But that's usually not "easy". That was my point. If it was so easy, there wouldnt be so many OWIs.

This is one dumb thing that I think we should expect our BB players not to do. If you drink, call someone for a ride. Hoiberg himself would probably come and drive!

I thought the same thing. If it was a drinking ticket, then yeah I really could care less. But driving drunk isn't just a simple mistake that is to be brushed off, no matter if the kid is just a college kid.
I think he should be punished both legally and by Fred. To what extent he misses games can and should be based on the facts IMO. My beef is with the hypocrisy and disproportianate outrage some have when this subject matter comes up. You bring up killing someone, you ever go over the speed limit? You know thats breaking a law that could result in someones death. The fact is neither act results in a death very often, but death is only frequently mentioned with one of the laws being broken. Again, I think drunk driving is bad and those caught should be punished. I don't have a problem with the current .08 BAC and laws. I just think a certain segment goes way overboard treating every OWI like it is attempted murder.
Lol, there is a culture of having a drinking problem for college students all over, student athletes are not exempt. Unfortunately seeing other people get burned doesn't stop the issue from occuring, again and again regardless of the spotlight on the individual.
Ugh, it's such a pain in the *** to always be aware of the consequences while going about my actions!
No, I'm pretty sure it's only on the phase of non drinkers condemning the culture of drinking, because you know, if anyone knows about the culture surrounding alcohol it would be people that don't touch the stuff.
If a 10 mile cab ride didn't cost you a tank of gas, less people would make the risk of driving drunk.
Such insight. Here I was led to believe that everyone that enjoyed a few beers here and there all thought driving **** faced was a great idea.
The Des Moines cab fares are outlandish. Have to be some of the highest in the country. The same parent company owns Capital Cab and Yellow Cab, which is part of the problem. Cabbing from downtown to the western suburbs will cost you over $40.
You don't have to be a regular drinker to be well-versed about the culture surrounding drinking. Just ask anyone whose had an alcoholic parent, sibling, relative, friends, boss, coworker, etc.
I would say those people have a pretty poor understanding of the culture surrounding drinking given that most adults who drink are not alcoholics despite what you may think.
We're going to have to just completely disagree on that. You may think you understand, but it's going to be fairly clear to anyone that can handle having a few drinks on a regular basis that you really don't have a clue.
We get it you hate alcohol. This is like a broken record everytime something like this comes up.
