Carmel's Blog

Hollywood types who make big bucks and like to drink a lot need a designated driver. That would protect the public and the celebrity's future income potential. Some producers want nothing to do with personalities who spell nothing but trouble.

Carmel, good points! I agree with you.

well for me, booze just brings out the worst in people. i mean it's poison for our bodies. look at all the horrible things this drink brings to us. it can lead to death by drunk driving, or just drinking way beyond a person limit. it makes it easy for men to take advantage of women, or slip date rape drugs in their drinks. it leads to addiction. it can lead to physical abuse. nothing good comes from it, and i don't see it any different then other drugs that are ilegal. i know most just think they can control how much they drink. but i also know that everyone that drinks also have gotten behind the wheel while buzzed or drunk atleast once. so that's why i think it should be banned. but that's just me.

Carmela,

You are so right on! - I have mentioned numerous times - so much money - no designated drivers - !!??? I don't get it! Now, I do like the occasional glass of wine - If I knew that I could really "let my hair down" and I could afford a driver or even a taxi - go for it - Someone should give these spoiled starlettes some tough love!!!

I'm all for her doing some time behind bars, "do the crime you do the time." I don't agree with changing the drinking age. I think it will only create more problems. Most young adults are not mature enough to handle certain situations and if you add drinking to their immature minds you have really created a monster. A drunk monster. What worked for you may not work for the majority. The legislatures know what works for the majority.

There are also immature adults I don’t believe age is a factor it is all about the responsibility of an individual...look at our young soldiers fighting for our country some aren’t even 21 to me that’s a huge responsibility and if they feel like having a drink... So be it
Salute!

read your bio- isnt it funny how we ALL are discriminated at some point? it seems their is always something the majority will find and use agianst someone. For me it was coming from Argentina, having and Italian and Spanish background. God forbid! I was the only one from Argentina in my whole school! the majority, Mexican ofcourse. They gave me such a hard time. Now they call me racist???!!! the irony is laughable.

Anytime Carmela.
What that teacher did to you is criminal! She should be thrown in jail. She's very lucky I wasn't your mom, cause I would have given her such a beating! how dare she? that is unbelievable! I went to Indiand a few years ago- and the principal wanted my permission to paddle one of my daughters for talking back. I looked at him straight in the face and warned him that if he laid a finger on one of my babies, it would be him getting the paddeling. Can you believe I had to sign a form stating I didn't approve of corporal punishment at school? wow. Thank God we live in this great Country. We have a better shot at living a good life.

I agree Carmel...Look at Europe their drinking age is 18 and I don't think they have the DUI problems that we do. I am one of those that believe if you are old enough to drive a vehicle, vote, fight for this country, you should be allowed to buy a beer, or even gamble your own hard earned money! Like you said, forbidden fruit....God knows when I was under 21, I would go to those restaurants that were clubs after 10pm, and my friends and I would hide out in the bathroom (they never checked in there, can you believe that!!??) and walk out after 10 to get sh**-faced. We always had a designated driver in our group, we would take turns every week. But my point is, once I turned 21, the thrill was gone because it was legal. And I also come from a family of European descent who served the occasional wine at dinner and would have a sip here and there as a kid, no biggie.
