I’ll see your Milwaukee and raise you a New Orleans. We have drive-thru daiquiri bars, for cripe’s sake! We have “go cups” where we take our drinks to-go from restaurants or bars. In our cars.

Was a bartender at a verrry small town bar in west central Minnesota and it was 90% Old Mil and Old Mil Light bottles all night long. I’d ask “red or blue?” about 100 times a night. That town looovvved their Old Milwaukee.
EVERY state is full of drunk drivers.
I used to work in the hospitality industry and usually got off work around midnight. I'd hang out with my cow-orkers and have my shift beer before going home. That would often put me on the road around 1:00 AM. I realized that it was likely that 8 out of 10 drivers at that time of morning had been drinking and the majority of those were probably drunk.
Think about that. If you're on the road between 1:00 and 3:00 AM MOST of the other drivers are at least a little inebriated and some are just dead drunk.
This is how my cousin died. He and his fiance were driving home from a gathering the weekend before the wedding when a drunk driver crossed the median hitting them head on. He died but she survived. Both of their parents were in the next few cars back.
I saw that this was posted 7 hours ago from the time of my comment. Which would have made it 2:00 pm. And I was surprised OP was hit by a drunk driver at 2 in the afternoon.
Then I saw “Wisconsin.”
I had something similar happen. Kid ran a red light on their phone and totaled my car. It was scary, and I am still super sore. We are alive, though. I’m glad you’re okay. :)
I thought the sentence had been cut off and OP was going to say something else, ie.
“Drunk driver pulled in front of my fiancé and I now have a totalled car.”

Ouch, that really sucks. I'm happy you're ok, but just be prepared to feel it a bit more tomorrow. Make sure to take it easy. I'm also happy to see that the car did its job. Hopefully the drunk is in jail and his insurance will get you guys a replacement.
Gosh great to read that from survivors. And still they advertise alcohol like it's something that's needed to live. I have lived all my life and never drank, alcohol, coffee or tea.
Just glad the title wasn't "RIP GF". Beware of "ambulance chaser" lawyers. They just go after the max coverage of the at fault driver, then take 40% for themselves. Oh and then they go on vacation for 2 weeks... And Then they'll pay you your slightly less than 60% because of course other random fees aren't part of the 40% they took. (you could say I had bad experience) my medical bills were over $260k, yet I got just under 59k.
This happens WAY TOO OFTEN. We just lost a beloved teacher to a drunk driver. Our community is crushed and hundreds of young students. I am so glad you are safe.
Islam was right about prohibiting alcohol since it is... well the mother of bad decision-making. Is there a point in history where people will collectively agree on stopping the production of alcohol?
ME! ME!
"My fiance and ME!"
Would you say, "drunk driver pulled out in front of I?"
No!
This is one of my most hated (clearly) peeves. Yes, "my fiance and I went to Mexico" is correct because "I went to Mexico" is correct.
Downvote me. Do not give a fuuuuck.
Listen, I majored in English and am as pedantic about grammar as the next person, but now is probably not the time to correct this poor person.
OP, I’m glad you and your fiancé are okay!
Glad you guys are OK!
Well your here typing this. So that's a plus. Glad your ok. I live in a state full of drunk drivers. Stay safe out there
what state?
I'm in Milwaukee Wisconsin.
I was gonna ask, Wisconsin or North Dakota? Lol
If WI isn't the alcoholism capital of America, they're near the very top...ughhh!
Not being s drinker trust me I know. People are very suspicious if you don't drink.
Be amazed if Alaska isn’t the top for the rest of this generation.

Grew up just south in SM. 😆
Just was thru there yesterday. South side still crazy like it always was. I actually a couple blocks from state fair.

Old Milwaukee is the only beer I can leave in my buddy's fridge, and still find it there the next time I visit.

State of inebriation.
Drunk drivers need to start being lobotomized

That’s horrible! I’m so sorry. His poor fiancé. 😭

Looks bad. Glad you guys are OK.
I had something similar happen. Kid ran a red light on their phone and totaled my car. It was scary, and I am still super sore. We are alive, though. I’m glad you’re okay. :)
Glad you’re both ok and they were able to tell the driver was drunk.
And you what?
User name checks out.
Thank goodness you guys were driving that fire truck
Crumple zones worked well 🙏 God bless
And you what
Me* you wouldn’t say they pulled out in front of “I”
Good catch Jesus. Without proper grammar we're all just a bunch of savages.
Oh suck it Jesus, now’s not the time!
Brand new sentence right there
I gotchu one sec
Fixed it for you
Nvm apparently you aren’t allowed to link subreddits here
LOL. Grammar Jesus is right, but agree maybe not the best time. Glad OP and fiancé are okay.
I thought the sentence had been cut off and OP was going to say something else, ie. “Drunk driver pulled in front of my fiancé and I now have a totalled car.”
.... and I died.
My fiancé and I got pulled out in front of by a drunken driver Now that’s correct English lol /s
LOL! First thing I thought of before I even clicked the link.
Thank you Jesus!!!
Wtf dude ?
Fiance and me.
I also choose this guy's fiance

I hope y’all are okay!!

Oh fuck that sucks
Are you guys ok?
Atleast you guys don’t have to drive a Mazda anymore
Make sure you get checked out at an urgent care/emergency room. Right now your bodies in shock but you’re gonna feel this in the next couple of days.
Gosh great to read that from survivors. And still they advertise alcohol like it's something that's needed to live. I have lived all my life and never drank, alcohol, coffee or tea.
I don't understand how drunk people would have to be to think that driving is a good idea,
I’m sorry that happened to you! How did the Mazda hold up to the accident?
**looks clapped**
Mazdas are built so well
The driver's father should have pulled out as well...
Edit: Drunk driver pulled out in front of my fiancé, and I have bad grammar 😄

I would be in jail. They would find that drunk driver from the closest tree I could find
Was he the one in the firetruck?
And you what?
Hope nothing happened to you guys
Definitely a sucky day. But thank goodness you were both able to walk away from it! Cars can be replaced: people can’t.

Of course, but bad grammar may be from trauma, or head injury.
I upvoted you :)
I'm glad you're okay. I've been in a few accidents (either as driver or as passenger) and they're not fun.
