Drunk Driver	comment	What happens when the Hard-Drinking Party Girl, Lady Drunk, Life of the Party, Lampshade Wearer, Drunken Master, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Jack Daniels, or just someone who's been drowning their sorrows gets behind the wheel of their car. Prior to The '80s, this trope was often a source for comedy, even in a by-the-book Cop Show like Adam-12 when the cops pull them over. (The stock joke is someone suffering from Alcohol-Induced Idiocy trying to say "Sorry Ociffer...") However, a greater awareness of the deadly menace of motorists driving under the influence have now made it a source of An Aesop for a Very Special Episode and placed jokes about it solidly in Dude, Not Funny! territory (though they may still be used for Black Comedy). As a result, impaired drivers are going to hit someone and have a car accident, or be chased down by heroes and/or the police to prevent it. If it's a near miss, it's a Scare 'Em Straight. On television, tends to be a shortcut for declaring a character The Alcoholic, or that The Alcoholic is heading Off the Wagon. Also happens frequently after a Wild Teen Party as An Aesop. An Anti-Alcohol Aesop is pretty much guaranteed. Subject of many a Public Service Announcement. Driving while distracted (such as texting) or while under the influence of other recreational substances will similarly be given a serious warning treatment, as they can have the same deadly results. Sub-Trope of Alcohol-Induced Idiocy and Aesop Collateral Damage. Compare and contrast with Fell Asleep Driving, which is another form of distracted driving (albeit people who engage in that trope are usually treated much more sympathetically). Also compare Drives Like Crazy, except this one tends not to be Played for Laughs, unless the incident was incredibly absurd (to the point of Noodle Incident) and either no one was killed or injured or only the drunk driver was in a Karmic Death. note You try treating this lightly without such - the Moral Guardians will be seeking your head on a pike! It may be that this is a cause of Running Over the Plot. Contrast Designated Driver, who actively prevents this trope. Unfortunately very Truth in Television, so adding real-life examples here is redundant.

Drunk Driver / int_116de4aa	comment	In one episode of The Six Million Dollar Man, Steve and a companion see a drunkard stumbling through a parking garage, clearly meaning to head home. Steve has his companion go on ahead while the drunk guy is fumbling around, and lifts the guy's back bumper (and presumably drive wheels) off the ground, propping the car on a concrete planter so he can't make any headway. The drunk guy is quite oblivious to his lack of forward motion.

In "Paternity", Olivia's car is hit by a drunk driver while she's giving Elliot's pregnant wife Kathy a ride, with Kathy's side taking the worst of it. Kathy goes into labor as a result of the crash, but she and the baby are ultimately okay. At one point, Elliot's daughter gets arrested for drunk driving. In retrospect, it's potentially an early symptom of the bipolar disorder she's diagnosed with a few seasons later.

Emily had attempted to set her up with the grandson of a friend, so she wound up bar-hopping with his group for the night. When she learned one of the drunkest ones was the designated driver (but she's assured he's the best drunk driver in the world), she tells them to leave without her. She has no money for a cab and winds up calling Dean to pick her up. We never hear from the date or his friends again.

Now Jefferson's brother panics because he knows how much the car means to him.

Drunk Driver / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: The plot driver for several episodes: "Mr. Plow" began with Homer becoming drunk at Moe's Tavern and attempting to drive home in a snowstorm. He ends up rear-ending a car ... the family station wagon parked in his driveway! Both his and the station wagon are heavily damaged and inoperable as a result. In the next scene, Homer tries to file an insurance claim but after letting slip he was at Moe's, the adjuster asks him what type of business Moe's is. After Homer-think tells him to not say that Moe's is a Tavern, he says aloud: "It's a pornography store. I was buying pornography!" In "Wild Barts Can't Be Broken", Homer and his buddies go drinking and drive into the school, thus destroying part of it. This leads to a curfew being put on the children and teens of Springfield, because the police assume it was the work of young vandals - despite the car leaving a clear trail from the school to Homer's front lawn. In "Days of Wine and D'Ohses", Homer and Marge get very drunk, and Homer attempts to drive them home but gets into an accident. Not wanting to get arrested, he switches seats with Marge, causing her to go to jail instead. Bart and Lisa, however, are wise enough to know that Homer was probably the one behind the wheel (the steering wheel had been adjusted to accommodate for his gut), and confront him about it. Parodied when Lisa drinks milk at Moe's in "The Burns and the Bees". Moe was reluctant to give her the keys to her bike lock; he wasn't even sure why he had them in the first place. In "Duffless," after a tour of the Duff factory, Barney is clearly drunk, so Homer, buzzed at worst, insists on driving and is immediately pulled over by Wiggum at the gates. Homer passes the field test, but Barney slurs out to do a breath test, which Homer fails, so the police arrest Homer and put Barney behind the wheel; he immediately hits Wiggum.

Drunk Driver / int_2bbcacd9	comment	Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies: "Dog Gone People," a 1960 short that starred Elmer Fudd (in a rare solo outing) in this satire on corporate culture, political correctness (of the day), and how treating others — in this case, a dog — with kid gloves in an effort to not offend can have unintended consequences. The trope kicks in near the end of the short: During a weekend where Elmer was dog-sitting his boss' mutt, Rupert, as a favor, doggie accidentally gets ahold of some bay rum and gets very drunk. Elmer decides the dog needs to go for a ride to sober up, but somehow the dog gains control of the car and begins speeding through town, causing several accidents. Eventually, a motorcycle officer pulls over Rupert, and both the dog and Elmer are charged with driving while intoxicated. (Elmer, by the way, loses out on a promised promotion ... to Rupert!)

Her husband Bob, who was far more drunk than she was, was passed out in the back seat. On the way home, they are abducted by a giant alien and taken to another planet to be his daughter's pets.

Drunk Driver / int_53a0bd8b	comment	The Twilight Zone (1985): In "Kentucky Rye", an alcoholic named Bob Spindler and his co-workers celebrate closing a big deal. As ever, Bob has too much to drink and becomes angry when several of his co-workers suggest driving him home or calling him a cab. Instead, he drives drunk, seemingly not for the first time, and runs another car off the road. Bob is injured in the process and seeks refuge in a tavern called the Kentucky Rye. The owner sells him the tavern for $1,600, the last $100 of which is contributed by a strange man. The next morning, Bob wakes up to find the tavern covered in cobwebs and dust. There is no one there except for the strange man. It turns out that the man is the driver of the other car, who was killed when Bob ran him off the road. Bob himself was killed in the accident and is trapped in the Ironic Hell of a deserted bar for all eternity. In "The Once and Future King", Gary Pitkin is driven off the road by a drunk driver and crashes his own car as a result. When he wakes up, he finds that he has been transported back in time to Memphis, Tennessee on July 3, 1954. In "The Hellgramite Method", Dr. Eugene Murrich's wife and two children were killed by a drunk driver while they were crossing the street. The pain that he suffered after their deaths led Dr. Murrich to create the Hellgramite Method, which involves secretly placing a Hellgramite worm in the stomach of alcoholics so that it can absorb their liquor.

Drunk Driver / int_69a00c38	comment	Funky Winkerbean: One of the major changes in the strip's history led to Wally Winkerbean's decision to join the Army. In a 1996 storyline, Wally and teen-aged girlfriend Becky Blackburn go to a party, get very drunk and Wally drives her home; along the way, the two get into a romantic mood and begin to French kiss. Just as the steamy kiss is causing them to have a near-orgasm, Wally forgets that he is driving and the car completely misses a curve. The car turns over in a ditch, and while Wally is only slightly injured, Becky is pinned underneath the car and nearly dies. Although Becky's life is ultimately saved, her arm is too severely broken to be saved and it is amputated. (To add insult to injury, this was right after she'd been accepted into Julliard on a flute scholarship.) In the aftermath, Wally (unable to accept the consequences of his actions) decides to join the Army — which will take him to Afghanistan, lead a mission to ban land mines and ultimately be taken prisoner, held for 10 years — while Becky remains a one-armed woman to this day. Amazingly, she forgave Wally and was married to him for several years ... until the day an Army officer informed her that Wally was dead after the helicopter he was riding in was shot down (he had actually survived the crash but was taken prisoner); she later remarried to John Howard, the comic book store owner.

Drunk Driver / int_7a7102f5	comment	Grand Theft Auto: Vice City has a mission where Tommy has to drive Phil Cassidy to the hospital after a boomshine explosion. Problem is, Tommy is drunk as a result of merely smelling the boomshine. The screen gets blurry and the car randomly swerves to simulate the effects. It's pretty easy to adapt to, though. In the fourth game in the series, you can drive after getting plastered (and indeed, in-game ads for the beer brand Pisswasser encourage this — "Pisswasser, this is beer! Drive drunk, off a pier!"). Niko, however, points out this is an extremely bad idea, and you're going to crash A LOT thanks to Interface Screw (the screen already shakes and blurs if you're standing around; now imagine that at about 50-60 mph, with your controls swerving to the side randomly because your character can't even stand still). You're also very likely to be arrested (any police unit that sees you so much as entering a car while drunk will put one star on your wanted gauge). Though the GTA IV example is realistic in its presentation (and also giving you no positive advantage), it didn't stop MADD from condemning it, claiming it glorifies drunk driving and makes light of a serious issue. Apparently Rockstar listened to them come Grand Theft Auto V. It's pretty much impossible to drive drunk since you sober up in less than a minute. You'll be halfway sober by the time you walk out of the bar, and completely sober by the time you start driving your car. The interface is similar to GTA IV drunk driving for the one second you can drive drunk.

He doesn't actually make it to the wheel, at least on screen, only because he drops his keys down a sewer grate, with a photograph of him attempting to fish them out leading the Express to describe him as "overwrought as a newt." In the Christmas special "Party Games," The Home Office declares a "don't drink and drive at Christmas" campaign, whose advice a besotted Jim Hacker elects to ignore despite his wife being sober and willing to drive, leading to a police stop on account of his extremely slow driving. This turns out to be small potatoes, however, after it turns out that the Home Secretary himself drove drunk, overturning a lorry carrying nuclear waste on the motorway, and then crashing into a journalist's car; Sir Humphrey jokes that since the press are saying he was "drunk as a Lord," the Government will almost certainly make him one.

Sadly, Norman Osborn includes poor Flash in a plot to drive Spider-Man to murderous violence by attacking his family and friends; under the pretense of picking him up from an AA meeting, Norman force-feeds him whiskey and has him crash a truck into Midtown High School, where Peter works. (Flash survives, but is in a coma for the rest of the arc.)

Major Rawls at one point attempts to get revenge on Detective McNulty by pressuring Detective Santangelo to catch him driving under the influence: Santangelo is dismayed; it is implicit that freedom to drive drunk is an unwritten sacred right for Baltimore police. In one of the show's Crowning Moments of Funny, McNulty is driving home drunk, takes a turn too wide and scrapes the side of his car against a freeway support. He stops, gets out, surveys the damage and the scene, and then gets back into the car and reverses around the corner. He then tries to take the turn again and hits the support again.

While a publicity-seeking district attorney accuses the force of inadequately investigating the crash, the officers enlist the aid of a retired police officer — himself having to deal with his own memories of losing a loved one in a previous drunk driving crash — to find the driver of the other vehicle. (In the end, the other driver was the district attorney, who was using his campaign against the police force to cover his tracks.)

Drive drunk, off a pier!"). Niko, however, points out this is an extremely bad idea, and you're going to crash A LOT thanks to Interface Screw (the screen already shakes and blurs if you're standing around; now imagine that at about 50-60 mph, with your controls swerving to the side randomly because your character can't even stand still). You're also very likely to be arrested (any police unit that sees you so much as entering a car while drunk will put one star on your wanted gauge).

David — having just lost his mother months earlier, purportedly in an accident caused by a drunk driver — puts his foot down and gets into a huge fight with Rich. David, motivated at an earlier admonition to "do whatever you have to do" to keep someone from driving drunk, locks Rich in the closet overnight. When David lets a somewhat sobered-up Rich out the next morning, Rich remembers vividly what happened ... and is an ungrateful jerk! He yells at David for not letting him consummate that long, sought-after relationship with the supermodel of his senior class. David then reminds him that his mother died in a drunk driving accident, and he couldn't stand the thought of now losing his best friend (not to mention the prettiest girl in high school). Rich eventually comes to his senses and realizes that nothing — not a hot night of sex in bed awaiting a hotel — was worth driving drunk and possibly killing himself or anyone else.
