Sam’s comment:
“I made a terrible mistake in 2014. I drove my car after consuming 3 alcoholic beverages with dinner. I was pulled over, blew .08 BAC, and was charged with a driving under the influence. I am grateful that I did not hurt anybody on the road. Now, I refuse to get behind the wheel of a vehicle with any alcohol in my system; not even a single drink.”
