I got drunk, hit 2 parked cars at 4am, put my head through a windshield. I wish someone would have kicked me in the nuts before hand.

just because a man has only 3 posts no one gives love to this gem?

What kind of job does he have?
Do you know anyone that he works with?
Is there a way to talk to a boss, who could in turn go to him and say..."you know, we are aware of your habit of driving intoxicated, if you get arrested for DUI, you are done here, no ifs, ands, or buts."
Or something to that effect.

Credible threat/consequence.

[Blarg]

Eh, those parked cars probably had it comin'

[Caldarooni]

A DUI usually clears this problem right up.

wacki,

It won't make any difference, but you could do some reaction time test games online w/ him sober and drunk to see how much he's affected.

wacki,

WHERE ARE THE BLACK PEOPLE?!?!?!

Also, "drunk" is a VERY subjective term that is defined quite differently contingent upon your lobby. Does he appear impaired when he drives? High tolerance for alcohol = less impairment than the average person.

Call police next time he does. No excuse for it. CO has a number you can call if you are on the road and suspect someone is driving drunk.

If I call the police on him he would lose his job which pays pretty well. As much as I want to get him to stop I'm not going to go that route.

Threaten him with it at least. It's not just his life he's taking in his drunk hands on that road, and losing a job is a small price to pay if he's not willing to stop putting people at risk.

We've thought about buying him a breathalyser but that will only prevent him from driving on the worst of days. Another thing he's actually excited about doing is testing how well he can drive on a driving simulator and compare that to his sober driving. This might give him a good idea what his limits really are. Does anyone here have any suggestions for a computer program that might fit this need well?

Will your position be affected if his performance drunk is still better than the average drivers?
