Thank God she didn't kill or injure someone. I couldn't care less if she had injured or killed herself, drunk drivers are fucking selfish 😡 Call a taxi, call a ride share, call a driver service to take you and your car home, take public transport, call a friend, call a family member... there are so many options.......but do not get in the drivers seat of any vehicle if you are fucking drunk. Drunk driving is inexcusable😡

I heard Korea wants to pass a law where they want to punish drunk driving by posting a public online list of those caught in order to deter or shame people from doing this.
