U.S. v. Jordan, No. 08-1432 (12/5/08). The defendant committed some criminal acts while out on bail – namely drinking and driving. At sentencing, the District Court denied an offense level reduction under § 3E1.1 based on his putative acceptance of responsibility. Selya sees no problem with it, because, well, the defendant “didn’t care” about his bail conditions which includes not being a criminal, and Selya points to the fact that the defendant didn’t cease all criminal activity but continued to act like a poor person and went into bars with his buddies. In the future I would advise his ilk to get wasted at the firm picnic and have the office manager call a car service.
For the opposing view, see The Pietasters.
It is difficult for one driving, and is drunk. It is a very dangerous habit that one should stop. The detroit bankruptcy is concern about this. For me, I would rather sleep in a certain place than going home when drunk. This will make life complicated.

Sometimes drinking is not that bad habit but it depends on the person. Driving under the influence of alcohol in some state is punishable by law. Sometimes it will appear on your records if people search your name.
