Couch Chat: Bill Would Ban DUI Offenders From Buying Alcohol

If you get a DUI, you can’t buy alcohol. That’s what one Tennessee lawmaker wants to see happen. He’ll be proposing his bill this week… First time offenders will have their license marked – those offenders won’t be able to buy alcohol for three years.
