I believe those who have a problem with the act of being held acountable,are probably the ones acting iresponsibly.Granted,the cost of a dui is high,but so is lose'n one whom you love...this is coming from an alcohalic who has done irreversible damage.How bout we respond instead of reacting.Life is fragile,let's treat it as if we value it...
