Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Drunk Driving is a 1939 short film (22 minutes) directed by David Miller.It is an installment of MGM's "Crime Does Not Pay" series of short films. The crime in this episode is, you guessed it, drunk driving. The subject is one "John Jones", a salesman for an appliance business. John has just swung a big contract and been rewarded with a promotion. His buddy Rick takes him out to celebrate, John has a few too many at the bar, and on the way home, he gets in a minor fender-bender.John thinks it's no big deal but law enforcement is cracking down on drunk drivers and he finds out he's facing the possibility of a 90-day jail term which would also mean losing his job. John is horrified but it seems that Rick knows the judge, and after Rick calls in a favor, John gets off with a $25 fine. John reacts to this good news by going drinking and driving again, with far more serious consequences.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| Drunk Driving / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: At the end, the guy at the hospital testing John's blood says his BAC is "one-half of one percent." This after a sequence where John was, yes, too drunk to drive but also walking and talking and coherent after the accident and on the way to the hospital. In Real Life, a BAC of 0.5% would very likely result in death by alcohol poisoning and would almost certainly put even a hardened alcoholic in a coma. | |

Downer Ending: Necessary for the Safe Driving Aesop. John's reckless driving kills three people and causes his wife to have both of her legs amputated at the knee, and John is going to prison for vehicular manslaughter. | |
