Lives are lost, and lives are ruined. If this girl's parents are around, I feel bad for them too.

Thanks, I was always on my son about this also. To this day he does not drink because of what happened to my brother-in-law.

My condolences to the family.... Whether drunk or sober.... whether the victim is a motorcyclist, a bicyclist, a pedestrian, or another motorist... there HAS to be a more fitting punishment.

When I was an E-6 in the Nav I heard they were not letting people who were caught driving drunk have E-7 (CPO) and E-7's caught driving drunk would be thrown out of the Navy.
Needless to say in 1983 I never drove after having one beer again. I let someone else do it
