Most people think Amish are not allowed to drink alcohol though that isn't exactly true,they are allowed to consume a moderate amount once they become 21. So imagine my surprise when I accidentally ended up on a page featuring several instances of Amish men and teens being stopped for DUI when they were noticed erratically driving their buggies. One buggy even sported a stereo system but when the police attempted to stop the vehicle the men took off abandoning the horse and buggy. In the most recent stop the 20 year old man was slurring his words when police asked if he was okay after they had followed the buggy being driven so erratically as to cause sparks to fly from the tires. Another buggy sideswiped a car,yet another ejected 2 adults and 5 children. It sounds like they might need to revisit the definition of moderate.
