Just trying to understand. She drove safely to work. Got accused of being drunk. Got arrested for a DUI? Just because I’m drunk now doesn’t mean I was drunk then. More to this story.. Hallmark already bought the movie rights.
Life ain’t always easy – maybe she just was having a ‘bad’ day and didn’t feel like sober was the way to go. Don’t we all have those type of days?
Being under the influence at 9AM while at work is in itself damning.
Sexist story. If she were a man it would be an innocent breakfast beer. Who doesn’t enjoy an occasional breakfast beer, or 6?
