Okay so today I (along with Karlee) went to the Grocery store to grab a few things. When we were leaving I saw a man who was facing (hiding) in a corner between a Coke machine and the store building, gulping the remainder of his Giant can of Beer. I thought it was odd, seeing that it was only around 10am. When he turned around he threw the can away, and walked to his truck. I watched him as I got Karlee and myself into my car. I thought that if he was going to drive on the same road as I was, I was going to get a head start. While I was driving home I was thinking of what I possibly should have done. I guess take his license plate number, and then call Public Safety. It just made me mad to think that he would drink and then drive. How selfish his decision was. I will never know what, if anything happened from this choice. But it does make me think that one's choices ultimately affect others. Just thought I vent my feelings on this issue.

I don't know what I would do, maybe the exact same thing you did
I agree, although I would have called 911 only because one of my best friends and his 5mo old little girls were killed by the stupidity of a drunk driver. His wife survived the accident. Some people just don't think.
Also, I don't know if you know the Wikels in our ward, they have been trying to adopt forever and they just got a little girl! Hooray for adoption!
This is all true, but...if he was drinking that early in the morning, he's probably an alcoholic, and needs a certain amount of alcohol in his system just to function. He's not necessarily impaired, the way you and think he should be. It's called a maintenance level, and unfortunately alcoholics need it to function in society. So...he may not have been legally drunk or even impaired enough to not drive. Just a different approach on the topic.
