 Pararaph of Purpose:

The followinginformation is brought to you by
mcbikergear.com as additional effort in public awareness as to the problem of DWI
in our society.
From the advent of the
US Constitutional Amendment that legalized Alcohol distribution, to the present day, the action of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcoholic beverages, has increased, continually and dramatically.

  The problem of DWI is made more severe by designer beverages, quantity packaging, advertising, under age drinking, sales programs, ease of access, divorce rate and domestic violence, social disabiltiy, boredom, drug addiction and alcoholism.

The aforementioned alcohol related social and other problems, including the familiar glamorization on TV, and in Movies, and especially in old Westerns, where everyone, including the Marshall, or Sheriff, congregates, and has their whiskey bottle, or beer at the local saloon, and where everyone drinks, but no one seems to get drunk.  It seems also, that sometimes, the most don't pay, or pay minimally, except for the free drinks, Kitty gives to Marshall Dillon, Chester, Festus, and Doc.  The same is true for Hoss or Little Joe.  Those ideas are presented over and over again throughout historic American Western Movies, and most presentations of all subject matter depict a dual indulgence of cigarettes and alcohol.  Along with glamorization, comes humor, as in Andy of Mayberry's, town drunk, Otis, who checks into the Mayberry jail, that accommodates his cell with the comforts of home, or of old, Red Skeltons depiction of being drunk.  And of course, the it's OK to drink, personality of Dean Martin.

In todays' day and age, no matter what the glamorization or humor that is depicted in the media, statistics are proving severely that there is a price to pay, and that negligent drinking, is not funny at all, especially when the victims aren't getting the last laugh at "
Drink Responsibly".

It is the statistics like alcohol is involved in 40% of all deadly crashes in NM, and 70% of alcohol related traffic crashes resulting in death occur at night, that have motivated NM lawmakers to come to some serious terms regarding the infraction of the law which prevents DWI.
