Yeah, "synergy" is much more uncomfortable in prison.

I thought my state was the only one where it is legal to drink with adults. Cops let that stuff go alot.

I started drinking at 8:30 and left the house at 1 am. I stopped drinking at around 12. By the time I drove I probably had like 2 beers left in me. I was FINE.

Im sure none of you guys ever drink or drive home buzzed :rolleyes:

Lucky I didnt kill someone? give me a break.

you're lucky you weren't driving in New York State. 0.02, or 1 drink, is above the legal limit for anyone under 21. You would have lost your license to drive, which is very much a privilege, and in no way a right, until either your 21st birthday, or a couple years, whichever comes last. I have a nehew who's almost 19. He's been in 3 wrecks, not all his fault, but a heads-up driver would have avoided each collision. Today, on his way home from visiting friends at the college he flunked out oflast year, he got puled over doing 85. Good thing for him his dad's a NYC Lieutanant, or he would have added a healthy ticket to his alrwady awful driving record

Yea I do regret it. I didnt think people would be so negative about it. But atleast it is helping me learn I guess. Thanks

you'd be surprised how many people have lost someone they know and loved to an idiot drunken driver

sponger · October 2008

I feel where you're coming from, though. I have driven drunk more times than I can remember.

For some unknown reason, I was never caught and was never involved in an accident because of it. I like to think it's because I have a high midichlorian count, and that a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, I had Jedi ancestors, whose genes allow me to drive while intoxicated.

There was this time when my friends I had rented a weekend beach house in baja mexico and had gone into town to go bar hopping on good old avenue revolucion.

I was so drunk that I could barely see past my nose, yet my friends didn't mind the idea of my driving them back on those crazy mexican highways which are probably among the deadliest in the world. About halfway there, I pulled over and said, "I am way too drunk. One of you guys have to drive."

And there was that time I almost lost control of my car while on an overpass. I guess you could say that was a close one.

Also, I was once so loaded on opiates while driving that I was drifting in and out of consciousness as I tried to keep the steering wheel straight enough to just be able to stay within the lane, let alone be mindful of other cars.

So, I'm not one to pass judgment on the OP. I've been there, and I admit that I must have rocks for brains to be making those kinds of decisions.

On a lighter note, I did quit drinking.

If thats what a wrecked 944 looks like, then that should be enough motivation to not drink/drive.

ehh...it's a Porsche...wear an extra seatbelt and you'll be fine. j/k

Just don't do what this guy does...

I was at my cousins friends house earlier and I had 5 beers and two shots, Im 19.

So I was driving home, completely ignore a flashing red light while a cop happens to be passing me. FUCK. So I get pulled over. He asks me for my license/registration. Done. He then asks me how much I had to drink (greeaat) I tell him 2 beers. I had to be honest...sort of. He tells me to recite the alphabet and coutdown from 100-76(odd). I do it fine, he then goes back to his car and comes back saying "Im going to assume you had those beers under adult supervision and since you are 20 (even though im 19) I am just going to assume you were being careless. I hope you learned from this, Im going to give you a failure to yield."

This is the second time I got let off for drinking/driving underage. And for the record I WAS fine, and I always drive home ok to drive. Why did I run a flashing red? I was blasting My Morning Jacket, too into the music.

Somehow I still feel like crap though, my dads kinda pissed even though I only told him about the failure to yield. I get let off basically, shouldn't I be glad?

they should have put you in jail the first time. fucking stupid, kid. stupid. stupid. stupid. don't do this again, or you will "still feel like crap" when someone dies because of you. never get behind the wheel if you've had a drink.

fucking stupid.

i can't believe you are arguing here. after reading your initial post, if everyone didn't let you have it, you're lucky. you have a lot of growing up to do for a 19 year old. a lot. you have a lot to learn about life, it seems.

even if you aren't "completely drunk", you ARE a piece of shit for getting behind the wheel. you ARE lucky you didn't kill someone, because that life is gone and yours would be ruined...over what? being stupid.

there have been a lot of terrible things we have all seen posted in the pit, but this might be one of the worst. the are a lot of people who have been killed or injured for life thanks to "nice guys" like you.

My best friend was killed in a car accident when we were 16.

The driver of the car was drunk.

The car was going so fast, when it hit the tree, it split the car in two, and ended up 50m apart.

Dont drink and drive.

You're lucky you made it home or didnt kill anyone. Ive lost friends and family to drink driving...ill never understand it. its so unneccisarily fucking stupid. Just dont bring your fucking car anywhere if you're gona be drinking.

pirlo21 · October 2008

Sorry if my maths are wrong, but 5 pints and 2 shots? That's around 12 units.
For an average person it takes an hour for 1 unit of alcohol to leave the system.
So at 1am, you'd have been way over the drink drive limit!

Hope you learn you lesson.

you are so lucky.

SoonForgotten2 · October 2008

This thread should be stickied. If it makes one person think twice about drinking and driving, it'll be worth it.

Be glad you didn't fucking kill someone.

Amen.

OP - you were fucking stupid and shouldn't do it again (you were probably told that after the first time though, right? :rolleyes: ). Enough people die on the roads and leave people behind, dealing with the loss, without YOUR stupidity adding to the numbers.
Your Dad has every right to be pissed.

urbanhippie · October 2008

I'm not going to say don't drink, 'cos you'll do it anyway

, but don't get behind the wheel afterwards dude.
Even one beer is one too many to drive after. Be selfish, and think about how you'd feel if you hurt yourself or anyone else. Those kind of scars don't heal.

And you must have known you were gonna get flamed for posting it here. And justifiably so. I hope peoples reactions will help you think twice before doing it again. Remember, getting ripped apart on a message board is easier than jail

nick1977 · October 2008

He should have given you a DWI. Quit drinking and driving. NExt time, it could be an innocent family that you hit while going through the flashing red light, killing a baby, or a mother, or a father.

Don't be so stupid. 5 beers and two shots, and you are ok? Damn, the cop really should have written you up and taken you to jail.

just because all your friends are drinking and driving, doesnt make it OK.

A lot of my friends do coke... I don't... it's funny how few of them actually give a fuck whether I do or not... i.e. none. It's cooler to do your own thing. To the OP, I'm sure you ARE a lovely guy... but this may not be the thread to make your point

in_hiding79 · October 2008

You could have killed some innocent animals that were on the road as well!! :mad: :(

the people here only mean well... sounds like you're learning your lesson though and that's good. Just consider yourself extremely lucky - a different cop coulda been an entirely different story. But hey, its all part of the learning curve

put this one away and don't do it again.

Just got pulled over...
