I didn’t know that were was a National Be(er) Responsible Day until a few googles ago. Needless to say, it’s tomorrow, folks. Expect a lot of advocates promoting the use of a designated driver.
The National Be(er) Responsible Day is being sponsored by none other than Anheuser-Busch, the maker of many of our favorite beverages: Budweiser, Michelob, Stella…
Tomorrow, many Anheuser-Busch employees will be out and about in local hotspots getting people to support designated drivers. Additionally, you can show your support for designated drivers on Budweiser’s Facebook page.
My question is…
Is there anyone who doesn’t support designated drivers?

He offers affordable and professional representation for anyone in the Columbus area who has been arrested for an Ohio OVI.
Tip: If you are caught driving on a suspended license following a DUI, seek legal help once again.
If you have been arrested for an OH OVI and you continue to drive on a suspended license, you may find yourself in a lot of trouble if you get pulled over. Even if the officer gives you a ticket and you think it’s no big deal, think again. According to Luftman, Heck, and Associates’ website, you shouldn’t just pay for a traffic ticket. Like your OH OVI, it can affect your insurance rates again and you can get your license taken away for even longer. You have the right to challenge these charges. Speak to an experienced OH OVI attorney immediately.

Wasn’t there a story last year about a woman who called 9-1-1 because she couldn’t get chicken nuggets at a McDonald’s?
Regardless, a similar story happened in Florida this weekend that’s just as ridiculous.
In the Largo area, a drunken man walked up to a Taco Bell drive-thru window where he was refused service because he wasn’t in a car. The man responded that he was drunk and couldn’t drive, but the Taco Bell employee insisted that he must be in a car in order to use the drive- thru.
So, using drunken logic, the man concluded that Taco Bell wanted him to get a DUI in order to get a taco. Obviously, being refused a taco is a huge violation, so the man decided to call 9-1-1.
And, I bet you can guess what happens next…
A crazy DUI in Pennsylvania took place this weekend, leaving one man with a pretty bad cocktail of hangover and embarrassment.
This past Thursday, Mark Grove was arrested for a PA DUI while driving on a lawn mower. Witnesses saw him driving erratically and called the police.
When police arrived at the scene, they found Grove with a coffee mug filled with alcohol. Grove proceeded to admit he was intoxicated and asked police to take him home.
When police proceeded to arrest him for a PA DUI, Grove assaulted the police officer and head butted the partition in the police car. As a result, Grove also faces assault charges in addition to his Pennsylvania DUI.
You don’t need to be an idiot like Mark Grove to get a DUI in PA. It can happen to anyone. To learn more about PA DUI laws, please visit this page.

It looks like Disney is now associated DUIs, as opposed to wholesome entertainment for the whole family.
It seems as if Shelby Cobra had an entertaining evening before being nabbed by the police last Friday morning.
Cobra was the lead singer of the former Disney band, KSM. She was pulled over in Studio City and blew almost twice the legal limit. Also, like most Disney stars, Cobra is underage. She spent most of the night in a Van Nuys jail and was released on her own recognizance.
We’ll let you know if this DUI makes her more famous than Miley.

Straight off the heels of Ryan Rottman’s and Twilight’s Kiowa Gordon’s DUIs comes That’s So Raven’s Orlando Brown!
Earlier in August, Brown was arrested for a DUI outside his home. Now, Brown is insisting he was not driving at the time of his arrest. He claims he did have three glasses of wine and went to his car to play his new album for a friend. Even though he was sitting in the driver’s seat, Brown says it was only to operate the radio, not drive the vehicle.
He needed to go to his car to listen to music? Doesn’t he know iPods are portable?
This story sounds fishy to me.
I wonder how Raven will help him get out of this one…

3. The Red-Neck-Pie-Face Groom
To quote everyone who has ever watched this video, “Oh, that’s the groom.”
2. The Giggling Groom
Maybe taking a shot before the ceremony isn’t the best choice, but this is actually sort of adorable.
1. The Yes-He-Said-That-In-front-of-His-Mother Groom
Yes, he said that in front of his mother.
