I have my bias and not that it is a big deal to anyone but me (nor should it be) I am also a recovering alcoholic, before I put it down I 27 years ago I managed slam head on into a oncoming Van with my car costing that man his livelihood for weeks while the insurance company dicked around with him, and healed from his injuries Saddly the police officer who responded chose not to notice the booze on my breath and wrote up that I had swerved to avoid an animal in the road (in part because for a while there was some question if I would drive again), When a friend tried to approach the subject with me by saying you have to do something I said yeah I need to get a bigger car, and I did! Because there was only limited consequence I would continue to drink and be a ward of recreational chemistry for 3 more years driving countless more times (thankfully never injuring anyone again)
Takes balls and honor to own up to that, kudos dude.

I feel like I need to apologize for my rant here If it came off as compliment seeking.
There are three points I wanted to make

1 Drunk Drivers are incredibly Dangerous

2 You are not doing a Drunk Dirver a favor when you protect them from the consequences of their actions.

3 By givng them a pass to drive drunk You are putting others in VERY REAL Danger

That is exactly what I meant by my first post... not trying to come down hard on Dubbs... just pointing out his error... I can't say that I've never helped a buddy get home who was drunk... or never drank and drove myself... but I'm old enough now to realize just how stupid and dangerous that was...

thanks nhgunnut
