That's what I mean....there's not many options so it's just sort of a regular deal.
Be careful not to get arrested waking home. Still better than an OWI.
I have a lot of friends who have driven after drinking (many times legally drunk) in the past (hopefully they don't anymore) and have never been pulled over. Also know a woman who was arrested for an OWI for going out to her car to get change for the pool table. She was the type of person who always had a d-driver.
If you are drinking and driving you have a drinking issue. This is not debatable.
Iowa isn't bad at all compared to other places....this is going to sound weird to many, but there's too damn many people here (even in rural areas).
I grew up in central North Dakota...county was 1400 square miles and only around 2,400 people total, 9 bars spread between 6 towns that were each 10-20 miles apart, 30 miles of interstate and only 2 other paved highways, 1 highway patrolman for the county that stuck to the interstate and two town cops for the county seat. Gravel roads that everyone knew well; you could literally get anywhere in the county on gravel if you knew what you were doing. Area immediately adjacent in surrounding counties was the exact same. My friend had a suburban, so we'd pack 10 people in that thing and never see another vehicle all night.
Not saying it was smart or safe or acceptable, or that the lack of perceived risk didn't have any terrible consequences, just saying DUI was and is much more prevalent in other areas.
Same here, mine was 3 months after I turned 21.....looking back it needed to happen to me at the time. Haven't done it since and fully realize how damn lucky I was not to have hurt/killed anyone else.
I would not want to be the OP, if something really bad happens from all of this. There are potential legal consequences.....
I have a framed photo of the Red Man in my man cave.
It’s been closed for a few years now but Goosey’s opened on the site of the old Pit Stop/312 Club a couple years back and it’s a great small town bar. Just had breakfast there a couple hours ago.
Didn’t some guy go crazy with a combine in McIntire post-Red Man once? Maybe it was a different bar.
Maybe we need to put a lid on this one.
From the thread it seems like he's going through some ****. He f***ed up. He'll pay a price if there is one.
No reason to pile on or speculate. We have the realignment threads for that

Sounds like a place where you hope the hot chick isn’t your cousin.
Yup. Wind will worker. He’d been at both bars that night.
I'm guessing we don't have the same hometown but mine has an identical event. Golf memorial for guy killed via drunk driving and everyone is drinking all day at the event.
Having drunk with Wyoming people (wyomingites? What the hell would call people from Wyoming? Wyomingians?) while I was in Wyoming, I can also second the statement.
Only degenerates get arrested, amirite? I mean thousands of other people got away with OWI last night just by not being in the "wrong place at the wrong time" but they don't have a problem since they didn't get arrested.
Clones21 is new at progressive politics; he still goes back to his conservative roots sometimes (e.g. "criminals" are inherently bad, flawed people, not like us normal law-abiding folk but just were unlucky enough to get caught). It's okay, change takes time.
It's something built into the brains of people that grew up in rural areas that as long as you stay on side roads it's safe to drive drunk. These are the same people that say they "back the blue" but think their local cops are horrible people for not letting them drive impaired.
Could you explain how linking to publicly available information can have legal consequences?
