Drunk and drunker

It appears Arizona has an "extreme DUI" charge, and WNBA star Diana Taurasi has found herself facing one (she pleaded not guilty).

Extreme DUI? Really? It's like a whole 'nuther level of sloppy driving, reserved only for the best and drunkest. Although the name has an X Games kind of feel to it, too, don't you think? Legit drunken driving incorporates a little bit of slalom, anyway.

But if you're going to set aside a special class of road drunks, shouldn't you make the bar a little higher than 0.15 percent, which is the cutoff for extreme DUI? After all, we would probably blow 0.15 on our way to church some Sundays. But don't worry -- Arizona has that covered too.

That's right, there's a super extreme DUI charge, reserved for anyone hammered enough to break the 0.20 barrier. SUPER EXTREME DUI!

Gotta wonder if there are some off-the-books classifications above that, like super-duper extreme DUI at 0.25 or supercalifragilistic DUI at 0.30. Like so many things in this world, if they don't exist, they should.
