Not going to say horrible things about the young man. I have driven drunk more than I would like to admit. Maybe I've gotten lucky. Maybe there really is something to "being able to hold your alcohol"

I know I've never had the interest in going that fast, drunk or sober. That is insane. I get nervous if I get close to 90.

Driving drunk 156mph on a busy interstate is a complete disregard for human life. He killed a young woman and her dog. He's a P.O.S.

If he doesn’t deserve the maximum sentence, nobody does. Complete disregard for human life, including his and his girlfriend’s.

Most of us have probably driven drunk a time or two. This is a totally different level. Fvck him to hell.

Some could say driving with one eye opened at a snail's pace is different than 150 in a metropolitan area.

He wasn't on the interstate. It was a major local road (same road I used to live on) and the speed limit ranges from 35-45 mph.

They said the road was three lanes and the only thing I’ve ever seeing 3 lanes is an interstate. My bad.

Just curious----what makes this a totally different level? The speed he was going----Thats the determining factor? Is it worse if I was doing the speed limit, but due to being drunk, I ran a light, and hit a person/car, and killing them?

Don't need to be a millionaire---taxi's/uber doesn't require you being rich.

Yeah, we have major highways in Memphis that sometimes are 8 lanes,9 if you count turning lanes, which aren't I40/55/240. I can't imagine anyone doing near 100 down those roads. They could, but to actually do it sober is insanely dangerous.

The speed. 100mph over the speed limit i mean my god. Driving drunk is obv reckless enough, going 100 mph over the speed limit is insane if ur sober.

I've not heard "fixed up" in a while. Thanks for that. You're pretty cool for a UL fan.

They should definitely get a safety award. A fiberglass kite on wheels plows into another vehicle at 127 mph and neither occupant is critically injured. That's a damn miracle.

The speed/reckless driving and how far above the limit he was makes a difference. One bad thing can be worse than another bad thing.

The speed is absurd but if you are drunk then you aren't really in your right mind so the issue is more the fact that a dude who could easily afford to take a number of other ways home chose to do something this dumb . He did though so now will face the consequences.

Agree Cory would add if you are "THAT" drunk you aren't in your right mind.

People that drunk do some insane stuff. Piss themselves. Pass out in bushes. Front yards. Bang an ugly. Get in fights against a crowd. Wake up naked in a corridor. Etc, etc, etc.

It is of course awful if taking the wheel.

Then again, all that should be considered prior to the binge drinking. Set something up to avoid the DUI. That's the main issue IMO.

There's already something set up. The NFL provides a 24/7/365 car service.
 
Blaming alcohol is the Go To of immaturity.

These types will have a ready-list of excuses as to why they don't deserve full consequences (for a litany of whatevers)..

"I'd never have (made that decision), had I been sober" is pathetic and should be recognized as it is, an immediate red flag.

This country needs to do so much better in not only DUI prevention, but punishment as well.
