What absolutely annoys me to no end, in this country, a person gets into a car, drunk, and goes to drive home (because they're a better driver when they are drunk), and gets into an accident and kills someone. What do they get charged with? Vehicular Manslaughter -- they were drunk and weren't in control of their actions...

It's no excuse... For anything... Unless someone poured the booze down their throat and then forced them to get into that car, they knew what they were doing. Drunkenness is just one more excuse in the wonderful world of "accept no responsibility". Always have something to blame.
