Take Donald Ramsey for instance, 66 year-old Mr. Ramsey should enjoying his retirement in obscurity but instead finds himself being publicly ridiculed because of a drunken “what-was-he-thinking” moment which ended up with his arrest for DUI. Doesn’t matter if she was mild mannered or the perfect mother before, from now on Dena Ellington will be thought of by most people as the monster who attempted to drive her kid to school while intoxicated at almost four times the legal limit.

Don’t let alcohol define you- have a happy and SOBER weekend everybody.
