    I'm not endorsing drinking and driving, but...

    ...as a society, we encourage it. First, it is advertised like crazy. Second, it is considered healthy to drink socially, yet there is a stigma if you drink at home. Next, there isn't really any effort at bars and restaurants or games to make sure people aren't driving home drunk. Then look at how bars are generally away from residential areas. Try to open a bar in your neighborhood. It isn't going to pass zoning. Yet, we don't have effective public transportation or cabs in most of the country.

    Everything is set up to encourage you to drink and drive, but when someone gets caught, they are some kind of reckless monster. We have our head in the sand. If we really didn't want people to drink and drive, we'd not advertise alcohol as much and we'd have stricter laws regarding serving. ...but there is too much money, so we just stick our heads in the sand.

    Stadiums do try to limit how much fans drink. The main trouble is they can't track what fans buy in their seats and what they buy at concession stands. Unless you're obviously drunk, it's very easy for stadium vendors to over serve you.

    Oh don't even get me started on this. This year they made it so that you can't order a double liquor drink, whereas just last year any time I ordered a liquor drink, they'd ask "wanna make that a double?"
    Now they say "well I can't sell doubles anymore, but I can sell you two singles and look away if you pour it all into one cup!" When did we lose a shared baseline value toward common sense in this country?
    I've seen a lot more people smoking vape hash pens this year also, that's what happens when you put such a boring product on the field.

    Don't drive to slowly either. If you're on the road at 3AM and you're going 15 under you will assuredly get pulled over.
