Just remember, in this day and age, there are so many options; you should never drive under the influence. There are ride-share businesses like Uber and Lyft. Almost everyone has a smartphone. You can take public transportation. Heck, if it isn't too far, get yourself some exercise and walk.

This was kind of a crazy situation in Cortland. The local police were called to a farm where a car had driven into a cornfield. When the officers arrived, they found the driver of the vehicle, and he was drinking tequila straight out of the bottle. There was no doubt he was getting a D.U.I. Thank goodness no one was injured.
