Court: Party hosts not to blame for underage drinking and crash

It’s not easy for any parent or loved one to lose a family member or friend. It is natural to look for someone to blame in such instances, and sometimes that blame is just.

Drinking and Flying Don’t Mix? Drunk Flyer Detoxed and Sent to Jail After Assaulting Cops

A reminder for travelers drinking and flying: maybe do your drinking after you get on the plane. Earlier this weekend, a Minneapolis flyer was arrested when she had the police called on her for being extremely intoxicated while waiting to board a plane at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport. Not only was she not allowed to board her flight, she was also taken in to custody. The police planned to merely send her to Detox to sleep it off. But, that was not good enough for her.

For most people, driving is a necessity. We need to drive to get to work, to go to the grocery store and run various other errands – that includes Minnesota DWI offenders who have had their licenses pulled.
