    Alcohol isn’t the only thing you can get a DUI for…there are lots of things that it covers from prescription medication to weed. Anything that negatively impacts your driving ability can potentially lead to a DUI.

      And you really think so many people are on these medications that they make up a serious percentage of the market share?

      How do all those people get to work on their medication?

        There are a lot of medication you really shouldn’t drive on, it’s a common side effect, so probably hundreds of thousands if not in the millions

        How do all those people get to work on their medication?

        Buses, Uber, Family/Friends, medication timing (eg not taking until you get to work and not taking the next dose till after), WFH jobs

        I’ll take “this dumbfuck has never had to use a prescription in their life” for $500, Alex.

        Oh look it’s the daily double!

        I’ll take “medications can have various strengths of side effects, especially in the first few hours of taking them, and thus many need to be taken at home on a strict schedule, often before or with a meal, immediately when waking up, going to sleep… and it is very common for drugs to say not to operate a vehicle or machinery after taking and/or until you know how your body reacts”

        They should really shorten that category, phew

          Again, how many people does that affect in relation to food delivery?

          Hardly any of your statements make any sense. Are you honestly suggesting that people order food specifically to maintain their medications schedule for medication that has to be taken with food? Really?

          Do you really for real think that all these people are physically unable to have, well, a fridge? That’s absurd.

          You’re trying to justify being drunk. Maybe that’s why you’re so angry.

            Lots. I am one of them. Several members of my family also take meds that can impair driving.

            Wtf does taking medication have to do with being drunk?

            Do your own research before you make a bigger idiot out of yourself. It’s not the job of others to educate you.
