Is being arrested for drunken driving materially different than having not been arrested while drunken driving?
And hasn’t pretty much almost anyone driven drunk at least once?

- mruts 8y agoBy drunk I mean above the legal BAC. It’s pretty easy to have a few beers and be above the legal limit.
- dagw 8y agoIt's also pretty easy to have a few beers and not drive
- mruts 8y agoI wouldn’t call it very easy. You drive to a place and have some beers. Then you have the choice of leaving your car or drive above the BAC. Most people choose the latter.
- dragonwriter 8y ago> I wouldn’t call it very easy Yes it is. > You drive to a place and have some beers. It's quite easy to decide not to drive to a place if you are going to have a few beers over too short of a time to safely and legally drive home, or to choose not to have too many beers if you need to drive to and from the place.

- danso 8y agoTo your second question, no. To your first — it seems likelier that Beto had more than one drunk driving occasion before the time he was arrested. The circumstances of his arrest don’t look the best for him, with one witness claiming he attempted to leave the scene of the accident: https://www.politifact.com/texas/statements/2018/sep/25/beto-orourke/beto-orourke-claim-he-didnt-try-leave-drunk-drivin/ https://www.politifact.com/texas/statements/2018/sep/25/beto...
- gamechangr 8y ago>And hasn’t pretty much almost anyone driven drunk at least once? Not once ever. That's super irresponsible. To be honest, I do think a little less of Beto for it. Is it enough to move a vote, probably not - but it's not helpful.
