Yes, nowadays I don't go out late at night. To many drunks who still want to drive instead of taking a taxi home. Drinking and driving just don't mix.
Even one drink is too much - I found out some years ago. I only had one drink at a function. On the way back, I missed a turning and had to U-turn back! That sort of woke me up a bit! So nowadays, I don't drink at all when I drive.
With rampant crimes happen plus too many drunk bastards around that 'drink, drive and kill' around during midnight, it's always better to refrain ourselves from going/hanging out late at night (unless if we are having urgent matters/important functions, but have to be very careful of surroundings during that time).
As for attending functions/dinners, me also don't drink at all (even one/two glass of beer) especially if i arrive there with my manual car.
Yup, if he took off same time, he would have died instead of the other taxi.
Depends on one's ability with drinks, but yours is not too bad missing turning, some can hardly walk straight and yet want to drive....

That is why after 1am the road blocks comes out......

What do you expect from this Boleh'siasui' land where even there's an ads about refrain ourselves from drink and drive ages ago (for Muslim, drinking liqour is like drinking an 'evil water' or 'air setan'), there's still lots of rascals that still drives around late at night even if they can't even walk straight.

While those causing death to others should be charged with murder and sentenced with
"mandatory DEATH penalty" under Section 302 Penal Code.
