So just because "everyone has done it" an OWI is minor?!?!? :skeptical: Most things that "nearly everyone most normal people know" do not have the capacity to injure, maim, kill, destroy, etc.
Anytime any human being drives a vehicle it has the capacity to "injure, maim, kill, destroy, etc." Most normal people, at some point in their life, have had a few drinks and drove home safely, without putting others in danger. Thats just reality.
The idea that every time anyone who is over the legal limit drives anywhere they are completely out of control, all over the road and endangering the lives of others is simply not true. Most of us have had a few and drove, probably illegally, but safely. That was my point, but I doubt you can see it from your high horse.
