[QUOTE="soberups, post: 346800, member: 14668"] As a recovering alcoholic with 11 1/2 years of sobriety, I can tell you that closing the bars wont make a bit of difference. I hardly ever went to bars when I drank. If you want to make a difference, then do away with the "diversion" programs that let first-time offenders off with a slap on the wrist and a 90-day suspension. A DUI ought to come with a mandatory 30-day jail sentence. If you have a job you can still go to it, but nights and weekends you should be locked up, with a one year license suspension. A second DUI and you are in jail for a year. DUI's can be a mixed blessing. A lot of people I go to meetings with say that the DUI saved their life by forcing them to accept the fact that they needed help. For some people, jail time is the "bottom" they need to hit in order to become willing to change. I am grateful that I was able to hit that bottom without getting arrested or killing an innocent motorist while driving impaired. [/QUOTE]
