Anyone that has had 4-6 beers in an hour, depending on weight, is just as guilty as a person that gets a dui, only difference is they got caught.

Well, you guys know how I feel about DUI laws. If this guy had gotten a ticket for going 100 in a 70 mph zone it might not have even been national news but, depending on what his BAC was, may have resulted in more impact on the risk picture. He probably would've been arrested but it wouldn't carry the same stigma. It's the same old thing where people do stuff all the time to increase risk but for some reason we've decided to focus on certain behaviors and certain means of introducing risk as "worse" than others. And we've made a much bigger deal out of it than it should be.

This does not make any sense. Please insert a few more words to make this statement correct.
Why am I guilty if I drink 4-6 beers in my home? What am I guilty of, Drunk in Private?

4-6 beers in an hour and drives.

Sorry that didn't make sense, thanks for catching it.
