I doubt it will make much difference. If he is drinking and driving at 19 then he will be drinking and driving at 38 too. It seems that the draw of alcohol and drinking with "friends" is too big to resist.

I hope you don't spend ONE DIME to help him out of this. HE needs to feel the full burden of his actions. This includes hauling him around when he has no license. Tell him to get a bicycle or call a cab.

He will find getting or keeping a job will be harder too. Any company that has company vehicles require clean driving records. When we hire a driver for one of the semi I get a driving record ran. I pay the extra to get the life time record not just the last five years. Any drinking citation and I throw out the application. Does not make me any difference how old it was.

I was on the local life squad for over thirty years. Got to see first hand the damage that alcohol does.

Wish the people that have made smoking a crusade would do so with drinking. I mean ALL drinking. Many more people are killed/injured by alcohol than smoking ever caused.

You get drunk and beat your wife that is not counted as alcohol related. Die of bone cancer and happen to smoke then it is counted as smoking related. This hides the true fact of the damage drinking does.

One of the big problems in todays society is helped along with alcohol. Many guys can't wait to get together to "WASTE" time/money watching some game and drinking themselves silly. They can tell you who is playing thirty different positions on some ball team but can't tell you a thing about how this country was formed or who their elected representatives are. They can't gather together without booze being there.

Friend had a daughter get married last year. The bar bill was more than the rest of the wedding. It was over $10,000. He did not understand why I thought he was an idiot to pay for a bunch of drunks to drink. He just threw his money down the drain.

As you can tell I really am down on drinking. I buried a daughter that some drunk ran over while she walked home from a friends house. They found the guy's car setting at the third bar he had been to that day. We could not even have an open casket because he had dragged her under the car so long that her face was destroyed. He got fifty years in the state pen. I get to remember identifying her body the rest of my life.

So maybe take your son down to the morgue and let him look at a few dead bodies caused by drinking and he MAY quit but I doubt it.
