    HARRISBURG -- A man charged with drunken driving on the way to a drunken driving hearing said he probably will have to quit drinking.
    Anthony R. Lilly, 74, of Susquehanna Township, Dauphin County, was arrested when his car struck a guardrail Tuesday as he was driving to District Judge Raymond Shugars' office for a hearing on a Feb. 8 drunken-driving arrest, police said.
    An officer found Lilly at the wheel smelling of alcohol, slurring his words and appearing disoriented, township Police Chief Rob Martin said. He said Lilly refused a Breathalyzer test and was charged with drunken driving and related charges.
    When arrested Feb. 8, after striking a parked car at an Arby's restaurant and driving away, Lilly had a blood-alcohol content of 0.259 percent, more than three times the 0.08 percent legal limit for driving in the state.

    Lock the guy up and throw away the key. I have zero tolerance for drunk drivers. If you wanna get drunk drink at home and stay off the roads.

    I don't agree with drunk drivers, I made my mistake and since I don't even consider it. However, this statement is a little out there, there's nothing wrong with going out to a bar/club and having some drinks and meeting people, just learn to take a cab, designated driver, etc...

    Saying if you want to get drunk do it at home is a little extreme imho.

    Agreed. Great post. I didn't put the part about taking a cab because 90% of the people I have known that like to go out and get drunk don't even consider taking a cab as an option. Your right I should have included that in my post. DRUNKS TAKE A DAMN CAB OR STAY AT HOME, there I said it. :)

    I'm sure I will get flamed for saying this, but there is a difference between driving after drinking, and driving so drunk you put others at risk. I'm sure there are studies that say once you hit .08 you are not able to respond as quickly, etc., but there is a big difference between driving retarded drunk, and driving over the .08 limit.

    I can agree with that, however, it really doesn't make either one ok. Being a little slow may not be as dangerous in your average driving environment but there's no way of knowing when someone is going to walk in front of your car and you won't be able to respond fast enough.

    I never once validated doing either. I was just stating this from past experience.

    Agreed. No need to put others at risk. Take a cab or stay home.

    Then people should be thrown in jail for lack of sleep while driving, putting on make-up, eating, talking on their phones, and general dipshitedness.


    Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way condoning drunk driving, but this shit of lowering the definition of drunk to some level that brings in more fines for the city is getting to be bullshit.
