NY County Has to Remove DWI "Wall of Shame": Fair Move?
Drunk drivers are losing part of their 15 minutes of shame after a judge's ruling deemed that New York's Nassau County had been violating due process by posting the mug shots of DWI suspects on its Internet "Wall of Shame." The county began posting the mug shots of DWI arrests on Memorial Day, and has since been sued by one woman who was pictured. She said the online gallery was unconstitutional as it was posted before her trial.

Folks are always trying to outwit the drunk driving laws in this country, drinking until they've drunk the house dry and have to journey to the market for a 24-pack pick-me-up.

You Asked: He Only Wants Sex When He's Drunk
Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend and I have been living together for over two years and everything has been great except for our sex life. For almost a year, it seems like the only time he wants to have sex is when he's drunk, and I'm obviously a little confused by this. We used to have sex all the time, at least four times a week no matter what.
Flashback: Denis Leary's Interesting Drunk Driving PSA . . .
Which is really an ad for Holsten beer. I know Denis Leary is prosmoking, but I guess he's anti-drunk driving. I've always wondered if any of these public service announcements work, but "Drink, drive, and you'll be an asshole" is as good an anti-drunk-driving message as any, I suppose.
Flashback: Star Wars Drunk Driving PSA
In a galaxy far, far away, there was a really cool dive bar with jazz-playing aliens who drank green cocktails. (And for the record, I bet that this public service announcement saved exactly zero people from driving drunk.)
