Are you so naive to think that some people don't drive home after drinking at bars? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that MANY people drive home drunk on a daily basis. The SB typically brings more people out, many of whom will be drinking so it's common sense that there will be more people driving under the influence.   more ›

When I went to the Bear/Packer game in Lambeau Field in …   more ›
