Don't

I just learned that a good friend of mine was picked up for DUI this past Saturday.  He's a good guy, social drinker, more than smart enough to know when he's had too much.

But he didn't.

Having just looked at some web information on the penalties for drunk driving all I can say is...

Don't.

The sad realization of this is that my buddy is not all that different from any of us. He doesn't have a drinking problem, would never want to put his life (or anyone else's) at risk, and I'm sure is saddened any time he reads about DUI related accidents. It's probably as simple as having had one too many and not realizing that he'd gone over the legal limit. This is definitely one of those areas where it pays to err on the side of caution.
