    Drinking is out of hand but there are also too many pedestrians that are jaywalking across the street and walking in dark clothing so it's really hard to see them at nights. I was driving to work this morning going west on Sahara and a homeless looking guy walked right in front on incoming traffic. I could hardly see him. They need to go to a crosswalk to cross the street and not test fate. It could happen to any driver not only the drunk drivers.

    It is disgusting that this happens so often and most people don't drink alone! They don't think right when they are drunk! Stop them from driving! Anyone serving a person to that point needs fired!
