I commend the cop who stopped her. She may never have to suffer the kind of guilt he did.

A very good atty, defended him and he ended up with a minimal charge.

Lost our daughter. Our whole family deeply scarred. Still evokes STRONG feelings/emotions. Young man's life ruined. Suicide. Probably far more ramifications then I'll ever know.

"Only a couple of beers," he told his atty.

If she were my daughter, I'd defend her and thank the cop. I realize that I come at this issue from a different perspective then most here.

How many hundred times have I heard " only a couple, only two, haven't had any since last night". Falling down drunk and it's always the same.
My heart aches for your loss.
