I couldn't agree more, but as in many situations there are alot of extenuating
circumstances that complicate the matter...  It's not my story to tell however, so I'll
leave it at the fact that for this particular case, if the police were involved the
accident would be the least of this particular person's problems (note I only referred to
the "drunk guy" as someone we knew, not necessarily a friend...)

Done, and done...  :-)  Believe me, a lesson was learned here - perhaps more than if the
courts handled it.  You don't always have to ruin someones life to teach them a lesson.

As a personal note, all of our friends know that if they ever need a ride at the end of a
night of partying, they can always call me or Sean (since we're both not really drinkers,
chances are the only thing we might be is tired...)   I learned a valuable lesson when I
was a teenager - my friend killed his own twin brother in a drunk driving accident, and
I've NEVER driven with more than one beer in me in the 15 years since.  I've always stood
up to anyone holding a set of keys they shouldn't be holding and insisted they call a cab
or let me take them home...  A group of 4 teenagers were killed while walking on a
sidewalk in our city last summer by a drunk driver, so you'd think that would get the
message across.  Apparently not...  Idiots...

Mark.
