I&#x27;ve met plenty of people where I grew up (Long Island, NY) that have gotten arrested for DWI that are not alcoholics.  The fact of the matter is that, in the suburbs, you drive to the bar.  And that&#x27;s how you&#x27;re probably going to get home.  I&#x27;ve done it. . I&#x27;m not proud of it.  People drink, and thinking people are going to stop is not realistic.  People do all sorts of silly things in the name of fun or escape.<p>Now that I live in NYC it is infinitely easier and safer to go out for a night of drinking, knowing there&#x27;s busses, subways, taxis or Uber to take me home, far safer than if I were back in the &#x27;burbs with almost no good options.
