No Candy Lightner has never been charged with drinking and driving..this is a rumor. The founder of Moderation Management was arrested for DWI after she gave up drinking in moderation and unsuccessfully tried to abstain completely from alcohol.
Candy Lightner left MADD and is concerned that the organization that she herself created is changing its focus. "It has become far more neo-prohibitionist than I ever wanted or envisioned," she says. "I didn't start MADD to deal with alcohol. I started MADD to deal with the issue of drunk driving." Lightner emphasized the importance of distinguishing between drinking alcohol on one hand and drunk driving on the other.
