Youhttp://buzzeddriving.adcouncil.org/'ve heard all the appeals to not drink and drive, now look at the math.  It just does not make dollars and sense to drive drunk, or even buzzed:

Total Cost of a DUI

There are quite a few expenses associated with a DUI arrest. Go Banking Rates investigated the charges a first-time offender can expect to pay (an accident or repeat offense increases these numbers significantly) and found the following to be typical expenses:

• Bail: $500-$2,500. 
• Towing and Storage: $100 and up. 
• Legal Fees: $2,500 and up. 
• Fines: $2,500. 
• Alcohol Education Program: $1,500-$2,500.
• License Reinstatement: $100-$500. 
• Insurance hike: $1,500 to $2,000 extra per year for 3-5 years.
