I came across this old footage that provided an interesting look at a very different time in history. We get to see the reactions of people who find out that in just days, they will no longer be able to legally drink and drive.

Reminds me of this.
The best part of this is the guy in the background lighting up a smoke at 0:55.
Obviously these takes are ridiculous in hindsight. It makes you wonder what opinions on driving that people hold today will sound just as ridiculous 60 years from now.
Communism, I tells ya /s
I seem to remember that you could get insurance against being caught. And you could get breathalyser kits to check if you could drive still. But I was only about 5 so not sure.
How is this supposed to exist ? 😂
drinking and driving was culturally fine even into the 90s. i remember in the 90’s flipping coins for who was going to drive - not for a designated driver, this was after the bar/club for who would drive the gang back drunk as fuk. remember the saying,’ i’ll take one for the road?’ that was a drink and to drive home.
then around here (greater toronto area in mid/late 90’s) the madd campaigns and whatnot… then the police took a zero tolerance and the game was over. get caught and you are screwed.
