There’s no such thing as “drunk driving”

If it’s an “assertion” then prove it wrong ****head. That’s how the scientific method works. You disprove a theory with more evidence to the contrary. That is, unless you’re afraid to.
Go on, I’m waiting…. -

You have a five year old's understanding of how scholarship and the scientific method work.
YOU are the one making claims that pretend to be facts. YOU are therefore the one to back up what you say with evidence. That's how these things work in the world of educated adults.
You can't do any of this because you pulled everything you say out of your ignorant, deluded alcoholic ass. End of story.
So until you become serious and actually meet your obligation to provide evidence to back up your numbers and other claims, as far as I've concerned you have conceded the argument, lost completely, and I have nothing more to say here. -

Do you have any evidence I “pulled this out of my ass”? You’re a hypocrite, you keep asking for proof without providing any of yours to the contrary.
I have done the research. 99.9999% of drunk drivers never kill anyone. Maybe you should look it up for yourself, I’m not doing your homework for you. -

I don't think subjective is the right word for it. I think maybe relative would be better.
Yeah, there are some people who drive drunk and are perfectly capable of operating a motor vehicle. But there's still more of a chance that they'd be involved in a major accident while drunk since alcohol does impair your cognitive and motor functions to a degree no matter what. I mean, there's definitely a difference between when I drive completely sober and when I drive with a few drinks in me.
And that's why it's called drunk driving.
Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one. -

Yes, relative is a good word for it.
I could see drinking increasing your chances of having an accident maybe by .0001% or something, but that’s almost impossible to quantify. There are so many other variables.
If anything, people would be more inclined to drive carefully after drinking because they’re aware their reaction times could be dulled, so this would offset any effect of the alcohol increasing the chances of an accident.
At the end of the day there’s always a chance that anything and everything will go wrong. You could be driving sober and your tire could blow out and kill someone, at the end of the day it’s not worth worrying about what might happen or not.
Obviously an exception to this would be someone drinking so much they start passing out and vomiting, but that would be alcohol poisoning. I wouldn’t expect them to drive the way I wouldn’t expect someone who had suffered a traumatic brain injury to try getting behind the wheel. At that point it becomes something else. -

Lots of stuff “hinders reaction time.” Being tired, or rubbing your eyes, adjusting the radio, texting, or not having your hands at 10 & 2 literally every second of the drive. If you do any of those things then you’re also guilty of bad driving.
Doesn’t change the fact that everyone does those things and
99.9999% of drunk drivers never hurt anyone
.
That’s why there’s no such thing as “drunk driving,” just ****ty driving or good driving. Which one are you? -

Good stuff, man. Outstanding read. Humor, data, bootlicking, and lack thereof lol. Perspective's a sonofabuiscuiteater to some folks. Your arguements and theirs aren't mutually exclusive. Everything I read is true lol. Kudos
