Yeah, I hear you. However, shit-faced blotto, passed out at a stop light at 4 a.m. is pretty inexcusable. Then he refused the breathalyzer, so that probably means automatic loss of license for a while. All the above should mean the permanent loss of license. I have no sympathy for DUIers. Blowing just above .08 after a few glasses of wine with dinner is one thing. But passing out behind the wheel - you should never be allowed to legally drive again.

In a high-profile job like his, it will mean termination for sure.

Who cares?

You are a saint or just plain lucky if you haven’t had a DUI scare in your lifetime. 99% of the forum has driven over the legal limit. You never know when you’ll get popped. I had 5 beers over the course of 3 hours when I got pulled over for doing a legal u turn and pulling into a strip club parking lot. Refused to blow. Always refuse to blow if you’ve had anything. I had to go sober for over a year and pay up for a lawyer, but I got the charges tossed. I was just in Utah where the legal limit is .05. You literally have to be Mormon to not drive over that limit here and there.

The avg person drives over 300 times before being pulled over for DUI. Interesting stat. Leave this poor GM alone. penetrate Baez
