"She was going less than 1/4 mile and she was always on her own property."

They all chose poorly, and it cost her, her life. The New York Post said she was heading back to the main ranch house from the guesthouse, as her 3 year old son was sleeping there. I've been a mother for 58 years, and never once, especially when my children were young, did I ever drink and drive because I had the responsibility of being there for them 24/7. The only reason I can think of that she willingly chose to get inebriated is because she had the luxury of a babysitter or nanny to care for the child.

People die all the time for very pedestrian reasons . Think of the guy who fails to clamp a piece of wood he’s working on, has a kick back on his circular saw, nicks his femoral artery and bleeds out. Or the woman who has one too many, takes a swim in her in-ground pool, drowns. Being mindful of subtle day-to-day dangers is how people live to a ripe old age.
