Local Author Arrested For Second DUI

[restored2x]

Unless I'm a total tard (which is entirely possible) this is his third arrest in less than a year for DUI. (Jan., March and now.)

Please get some help. Some of us have been there, done that - help is available. Your life is falling apart - fast.

2 DUI's and one public intoxication, I think.

JAIL!!!!
He should get some great material hanging out in prison.

Alchohol is the scurge of our society when it comes to drugs.....right after crack, meth and ice which are one in the same....

I had a bit of that scourge of our society after harvesting honey from our beehive yesterday. A Tecate and a Shiner Bock. Yum.

You should make your own mead.

I made 5 gallons of mead from Oklahoma honey  (BixBee Honey) a couple years back.   Holy wow, that was some strong and sweet stuff.  I ended up force carbonating it to help temper its taste and because, well, I wanted to.  

A friend that likes mead enjoyed the heck out of it, chicks seemed to like it to... way to sweat for me.  I don't think I finished a full glass and most people shared my sentiment that mead is not for most people.

I had mead about eight years ago. Had just one regular glass, and had a nasty headache the next day. Too sweet for me.

And a third and fourth time...

LINCOLN, Nebraska - An Oklahoma author has been arrested again for driving drunk. Records say William Bernhardt was picked up by Lincoln, Nebraska police after he slammed into the back of a parked truck.

Police say Bernhardt was lost when he drove onto Burlington Northern railroad property at about 8 p.m. December 7, 2011. He ran into the back of truck where a railroad employee was sitting waiting for a train car to arrive.

Arrest documents say he initially refused a breathalyzer, and then later blew a .247, three times the legal blood alcohol content limit.

Nebraska police say Bernhard was charged with felony DUI since he has two previous DUIs on his record. That doesn't include the DUI arrest he had in Oklahoma County on May 26, 2011.

He was also charged that day with running from police and having an open container. He's due back in court for those charges on January 19th.

Bernhardt is the author of a series of legal thrillers, many set in Oklahoma.

It's called addiction. It's really too bad that forcing drunks to go to AA or whatever is no more effective than not. A person really has to want to beat it. At least with smoking there are drugs like Chantix/Wellbutrin and maintenance products that make it easier to take that first step and follow through. The real problem is that it often has to involve changing your friends, and that very lack of a support structure makes it much harder to keep off the sauce.

Yet another reason I think public transportation is much more important than its funding would indicate.

That's the key.  Until he's truly ready, no amount of pressure from others will get him to change or quit.  To Bernhardt, anyhow, he's not hit bottom yet, at least he hadn't before now.

That goes for things such as smoking as well, despite the availability of the drugs to combat the cravings.
