My son, not living up to his potential went and got busted for DUI, wrecked his truck, got it impounded for good, sent to the pokey then when he got out was drowning his sorrows and got into it with his old lady and sent right back to the pokey.. He's paid for it for the past few years now and after two years of probation, untold fines, etc, still has to go spend 3 days in the slammer to finish his case.. He lost his job, apartment, truck, gf and just about everything else.. 
He really went into a tailspin and finally quit drinking at least for now..  As his dad I just want to slap him sillier than he already is. Luckily he didn't have an NFL contract to screw up.. 
All this nonsense is the main reason I completely gave up on drinking..
