August 22, 2017 by Chris Grinnell

Every once in a while a news story circulates about a person who was pulled over for drunk driving, tested, and found to be over the legal intoxication limit – despite having had nothing to drink.

Another NC Drunk Driver Causes Blackout. Will They Ever See the Light?

July 12, 2017 by Chris Grinnell

We often look at the damage drunk drivers do in terms of themselves – they get killed and injured – and others. And impaired driving is responsible for some 10,000 deaths each year, and 290,000 injuries – that’s an injury every two minutes. But the decision to drink and drive can cost us in other …
