I can't say that I agree, as I haven't experienced that. but I can understand.
It's almost the whole point of sufism.

There is a thread about people who drink and drive and if they should be given the death penalty. I think you should know what its like to be drunk before you comment on how drunk people act. Not supporting drinking, not support drinking or driving, not supporting what drunks do, not defending I just want to know how many of you have been drunk before.

I think the statistics from your fellow drunkards and the people they hurt speak for themselves.

But I agree with you, I should try to juggle knives before commenting how stupid it is to do so!
 
Yes, I've been drunk on multiple occasions. Once you've reach the level of "trashed"-heavily intoxicated, your motor skills and cognitive abilities are extremely impaired. Under NO circumstances are you in any condition to drive. Personally one or two cans of beer or glasses of wine as no perceived effect on me, BUT I would never take that chance even if there was 99% chance I would get home safely. I do believe that if you decide to get drunk, you need prepare yourself so you don't end up in the car, driving haphazardly down the road. You don't have anyone to blame but yourself if you take that chance and end up doing something utterly reckless and stupid like that.

My point was not that they should be treated likely, just that some members should show a bit more restraint because they do no understand.

I don't believe that they should get the Death Penalty, but I don't think this is a matter of understanding. Yes, when you are heavily intoxicated you usually don't have much of any control over yourself and you end up forgetting large chunks of what happened while you were drunk, but that doesn't excuse what they did by any means. You know prior to when you get drunk that there are steps that you have to take to insure that you don't get in the car and drive.... Whether you have a designated driver, or asking someone to hide your keys, etc..that is YOUR responsibility.

TRIVIA: Texas has the harshest drinking laws of any State. In every county in Texas it is illegal to be in public if you have been drinking recently or if their is any indication you have been drinking. It is also illegal for anyone serving alcohol to allow a person to drive if they suspect the person may be drunk. Having more then one drink is considered reason to suspect.

I believe alcohol related deaths in Texas are now the lowest in the nation. Also in nearly half of the Texas counties it is illegal to sell alcohol and in the remainder it is very regulated and discourged.

I am not certain what the penalties in Texas are, but assume they are very high.

Asalamuallaikum, Uncle Woodrow. I found this joke in my book (printed in 2003)


The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged that they had funded a project with American car-makers over the past five years. In the covert project, car-makers installed black boxes in 4WD pickup trucks in an effort to determine, in fatal accidents, the circumstances in the last fifteen seconds before the crash.
They were surprised to find in forty-nine of the fifty states the last words of drivers in 61.2% of fatal crashes were, 'Oh, S**t!.
Only the state of Texas was different. There, 89.3% of the final words were, 'Hey Y'all, hold my beer and watch this!'.

While Texas does joke about it's very rowdy past. Most people are surprised to discover it is no longer the "Wild West" seen in movies. As a former Texan I find your joke funny and believe most Texans today will also enjoy the laugh.
 
They ask you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) concerning alcoholic drink and gambling. Say: "In them is a great sin, and (some) benefit for men, but the sin of them is greater than their benefit."
2:219

No Alhumdulillah.
 
done it all to death,.....almost. drink n drugs on dailly basis drags you into a subculture that is hard as hell to get out of. I left friends behind, my last vice that gripped me and the one I could not shake was skunk. finally found strength to ditch it when started to seriously fulfill my covenant with Allah and got blessed with children. Nothin mushy just cold hard abstenance with Allah granting me strength. All praise is His, Take from us that which keeps us from you Allah

i have been drunk more times than i can remember.

i have also been intoxicated under other substances.(weed, bars, ex, and cocaine)

driving while on cocaine didnt cause any problems. i could drive perfectly normal.

but on the other substances and on alcohol, especially if i was really drunk or drugged out, my driving was very impaired and very bad. i remember once having to ask my friends if there was a stop sign or not. and waking up with a dent in my car, and not remembering how it got there.

or when my friend was on a bar and i wasnt. and she was swerving everywhere and going way under the speed limit. and stopping to turn in the middle of the road with ongoing traffic.

and all these times i knew this could be a possibility. i knew i could get so messed up that it would majorly impair my driving. but i still drove.

therefore it would absolutely be my fault if i decided to drive while under the influence. i should be held accountable if anything had happened to someone. because i wasnt force to take drugs/alcohol. i knew what could happen or how my driving could be because i did it before.

a few days ago a drunk driver in houston killed 5 children. yet people still dont think it can happen to them.

alhumdullillah during the last two years of university, my drug rebellious experimenting stopped and since becoming a muslim i have become a much better person.

but even then its not like i popped bars or exo's or smoked weed or drank all the time. i did it here and there, like a typical college american student.
 
Alhamdulillah, I came to islam when I was still young, so I never had time to drink almost. Tried, but it was nothing for me, even as a nonmuslim. Neither of my friends did drink much either.
 
Does one have to be drunk in order to witness people acting stupidly when drunk? Especially when we've witnessed people who have had their lives brutally taken from them by drunk drivers (at 11 am on a monday morning).

Yes, I've been drunk before I converted to Islam. And yes, drunk people act stupidly. I didn't need to by drunk to confirm what was readily observable just about anywhere in the country.

And yes, I believe drunk drivers, especially those who cause harm to others, should be punished increadibly harshly. Like lock them up and throw away the key.
