Thank God Joel's not much of a drinker. When he does drink he usually does it at home and invites his friends over and collects their keys as they pour their first one.
He had a DUI just over 3 yrs ago and luckily he learned his lesson.

He actually called me from the county jail about an hr away at 3 am and said "Mom, I'm in jail for a DUI.... don't suppose you'd want to come bail me out?" I said "You supposed right."
So he sat in jail till his hearing at 8 am and was led by 4 armed guards from his cell to the courtroom in shackles, an orange jumpsuit and flip flops 3 sizes too big. He said he was mortified. LOL Was the best thing that they could have done to him. To my knowledge he hasn't done it since.
He lost his license for a yr, and paid $2,700 worth of fines and court costs. I don't know which hurt more.
Some of his friends haven't learned that lesson yet though, so I do worry.
