There are also laws against being a public endangerment, reckless driving, DUI, and he is a multiple time repeat offender. You certainly aren't going to say "we'll, you haven't killed anyone" and do nothing if it's discovered that someone is making bombs in their apartment.

I don't (cannot ) drive which is the gift of God to someone like me. Just imagine an alcoholic like me on the road.

This is one of the best things about Saudi arabia. Liquor is very hardly available ( but sure you can make it at home with fruits) .
Tis good to know one's limitations,
& to handle them responsibly.
There are times I won't drive too,
eg, too tired, after imbibing.

Sure, it's also great if you are fond of female ankles.

Who are "they"? They sound pretty bad.
Some absolutely are made scapegoats. Some are even scapegoated to death or disenfranchisement. I've also not been the person making sweeping generalizations about people who drive drunk. People who have been traumatized by DUI/PCA crashes/accidents seem to be the most belligerent and degrading regarding this issue.
What ever happened to judging an individual case on its merits?
I think if people insist on the idea that themselves are calm and gentle people and it's only the "criminals" who do bad things, and that this is our way of addressing the issue, then it endorses the problem in the first place as a blind eye is turned to the inherent darkness that is actually and inescapably inside all of us. These "criminals" are then left with literally no other alternative than to go around spewing that negativity around in public. I think we could do a lot better. It's sad.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
I know what your trying to point out, but alcoholic drinks are still legal unlike bomb making.
That can't be equated as being the same thing in a legal sense.
His problem is not not the drinking itself and getting plastered, but his extremely poor judgement and recklessness under the influence affecting public saftey.
It's a behavioral issue. Probably best served in a mental institution for an indefinite amount of time.
Not prison. Imo.

Everything is available; the trick is to choose and manage your addictions in a way that is appropriate. It might be a struggle but a worthwhile struggle.
I wish you the best of luck if you follow through with hitting up SA. In my experiences, I've been shocked at how much of a difference a change of scenery can make in a person's life; especially those with substance issues. It's one of the rare things in life that seem to foster overwhelmingly positive changes. And I truly believe that the alcohol thing (which, if you're doing it "right" or "wrong," is also sometimes tethered to the alcohol/benzo thing) is the worst thing a person can do to themselves. Even people who decide to shoot meth, coke, heroin habitually - you'd be surprised how manageable and successful their lives are because they've had the insight and capacity to see the illusory aspects of "the drug problem" and learn how to effectively choose their addictions. That's the paramount lesson to be learnt.
By the way - some of these successful "criminal" meth/coke/heroin injectors drive cars too.
I agree completely. But I don't know how to clearly distinguish between a US prison and a US mental health facility.
Other than the state can't force people to remain in a mental health facility for longer than a few weeks.

They're the ones doing the evil deeds.
I agree that people should be treated fairly, & as individuals.
Regarding this perp with 10 DUI acts & a history of flouting both the law &
the safety of others, this is enuf info for me to see him spend life in prison.
This would not apply to other cases & circumstances.
To punish criminals, & to keep them away from society is not commentary upon the rest of us, nor does it endorse their evil.
Still, it's a system needing improvement.

Cool. I think we see eye to eye on this.
That happens sometimes here.
Woo hoo!
