I can remember living in Texas in the 70's. A DUI ment a 1.4 or higher. You could actually drink while you were driving. You also weren't required to have insurance either. If you lived in the county and got pulled over for a couple of your beers the cop would take you home; provided you wasn't a long hair. If you were a long hair you got beat up and taken to jail. Which makes you wonder how hammered George JR was when he got a DUI in Texas while his Daddy George SR was governor lol
Coors beer was only sold west of the Mississippi and was 12% alcohol. You could buy liquor at 18. However, only a parent could buy beer or mixed drinks for their minor child in a bar.
That was a piece of history that will never come back unfortunately. I understand the law behind drinking and driving. Not a fan of forced insurance.
George JR must have been really gone and back talking that officer.
