Pictures of both are on the office walls up here. Entergy - oh we will …   more ›

One drink could be the standard for drunken driving – at least for some people if the National Transporation Safety Board has its way.

Officials at the American Beverage Institute called the proposal "ludicrous." It said the average woman could reach the 0.05 percent limit by having one drink. There were 114 DUI fatalities in Massachusetts in 2012, which were 34 percent of traffic-related fatalities last year, according to Mothers …
