    Default I got a DUI!!!!

    I knew this would one day bite me in the ass. I leave the club drunk plenty of times and there used to be times when I would have to look out my window the next day to see if my car was parked outside or not to cuz I couldn't remember if I drove! Well, after leaving a friend's party, I got pulled over! I'm so embarrased. I was always proud of myself for not fitting the stereotype of dancers having criminal records. DON'T EVER GET A DUI!!!!!! Jail was HORRIBLE. One minute feels like an hour. this is going to be expensive. I'm going to try to have some of my regulars pay for most of it, though

    Umm... you deserved more then a DUI and a minute in jail. How can you be proud of drinking and driving? Thats a sterotype right there. Im sorry but do you realise how many lives you put at risk when you do that stupid shit?

    uhh.......THAT IS WHAT I AM POINTING OUT! I had this coming and I'm ashamed. and actually i was in there for 24 hours. We all screw up. i know its stupid shit. I don't think there is a single person in ANY kind of bar business that has NEVER drove while being a little buzzed. I'm not saying it's right, definately learned a good lesson.

    LoL actually i've never once sat in the driver seat after having any amount of alcohol. I hope you did learn a lesson. Your lucky you didnt kill someone. Sorry but in my view when you drive after drinking its pretty much atempted murder.

    ditto. I've worked in the bar business and always capped it off at two and given myself some time to know that I'm completely sober.

    and I really hope most bar business people haven't had to look out their window to see if there car is there or not as a way to tell if they drove home drunk...

    consider AA since this seemed to be a common occurence for you.

    Im surprised the club let her leave. Any club i've worked at checks the girls as they're walking out the door to make sure they're not drunk. And if you are drunk they take your keys and make you cab it.

    Oh God... a DUI... I'm always soooo paranoid about that! My bf just got one last week. He was really surprised when the cop said he was drunk, actually. He hadn't had much to drink and had downed a bunch of water before driving. Ima order some of those breathalizers online and give one to him, my dad, and keep one for myself just to make SURE!

    It happens and yes its irresponsible it took me two ( yes I was a fucking idiot ) .It's been over ten years now since those mistakes - since then I have quit drinking . And in my opinion talking on a cell phone or eating while driving is just as dangerous - the road needs to be your priority when you are driving thats a big piece of metal traveling at a good click . Please take care of yourself and get through this .

    I have no sympathy for you either. That was a stupid thing to do.

    If your club is far enough from where you live that you must drive, then don't drink at all! If you're closer to home (say in a town/city) there are options for getting home. Take a cab, hire a driver or go with a co-worker/friend.

    If you don't take your car to the club you can't drive home drunk. I suggest getting to work the say way you intend to get home.

    As a customer, I do not drive to a club, ever!! This is one rule that I never break.

    I don't have much sympathy there. You are supposed to be an adult, and yet you have established that you have a pattern of doing this. The only reason you are "ashamed" is because you finally got caught.

    No sympathy here either. You got off light. You could have MURDERED someone, and yes, that's what it would've been. I've worked in restaurants and bars for the better part of 10 years and I know you DON'T drive drunk, EVER. Not even "a little buzzed," and you are way beyond that point if you don't even remember whether you drove home or not.

    Thank your lucky stars you got off this easy, and don't EVER do it again.

    Add me to the long list of people with no sympathy. I have a feeling you won't learn your lesson, but who knows, I could be wrong. I really hope I am because that is incredibly dangerous. Take care of yourself before you hurt someone...

    I'm so sorry to hear that.

    Yes, please learn from this lesson and don't be one of the ones who ends up with two or three DUI's.

    About a month ago, my car was plowed into by a drunk driver on the wrong side of the median.
    On top of it all, the bastard swerved INTO my car when i was trying to get away from him, and hit my front passenger side where my girlfriend was seated. Fortunately, neither she nor anyone else in my car were hurt aside from bruises and some seatbelt friction burns.

    Guy was so drunk he needed help getting out of his car and standing up.

    Car was totaled.

    I'm glad you recognize that it was a stupid decision, however, PLEASE make sure you have a designated driver from now on.

    I live in Indiana too.I just got my 2nd DUI.The first one I couldnt blow long enough so I got breathilizer refusal DUI.If it is your first one,it shouldnt be that expensive.They will keep your bond for a fine and you could just plead not guilty and get a good plea bargain.I got probation.I was supposed to lose my lisence for a year since the reusal ,but it ended up being like 5 months part of plea agreement.But if it is your first and you didnt refuse ,you will only lose your liscence for 3 months.I would just get a public defender.You can still get a good deal.Its not that big of deal 1st time in Indiana to spend thousands on a paid attorney.

    Sorry to hear than, hon You know you've fucked up in the past by drinking and driving, and you're going to use this experience to save you and possibly other people some *serious* trouble down the road by shaping up now.

    Who amongst us could sit in judgement on this chick and say we've never done something on the same level of fuck-up?

    I, for one, will say, "Not me!"

    I acknowledge I've done some stupid, irresponsible things that could have easily landed me in jail or worse, so I don't want to sound morally superior, but I do want to give some practical advice to any first or second time DUIers or anyone else progressing up the judicial system ladder of multiple offenses. Don't mistake lenient treatment for one or two offenses as a sign that you'll always get a slap on the wrist. I've covered criminal courts as a reporter and I've seen repeat offenders who think that their next court case will be the breeze that the last one was. All of a sudden, the leniency ran out, they had used up their last chance to straighten up, and came face-to-face with a sentencing judge who was royally pissed off at seeing them in court again. "That's your last bite of the apple," one judge was known to say as he sent them off to prison. Part of the reason why light sentences for first offenses can work is that most people are so scared sh*tless by having a brush with the consequences they could face that they'll change. However, some people mistake that experience as having gotten away with it.

    Don't be afraid to seek whatever help you may need to avoid a repeat. But, definitely, be scared sh*tless of the judicial system and stay outta there. Good luck.

    It really pisses me off that people caught drinking and driving can get away with a silly slap on the wrist. No wonder so many morons keep doing it. All you people with one or more DUI's should really be ashamed of yourselves. Honestly what makes you make such a stupid decision? I think a first time DUI is just as bad as atempted murder and should be a lot harsher punishment then 24 hours in jail and a fine. I think it should be like a year in jail and your never allowed to have your license back. Maybe then people will stop being so stupid. A girl in my highschool was killed by a drunk driver. I shared a class with her, she was a sweet girl, honours and recieved a scholarship for harvard. She wanted to be a doctor. Now I wasnt friends with her, I didnt even sit beside her, we just shared a class and said hello every morning. It was such a shock when we found out she was killed the day before prom. Call me a bitch for this post but honestly every word I say is true. You shouldnt be allowed to fight this. Hell I would be ashamed to ask your 'regulars' to pay for it. This is something you should pay yourself. IMO you should stop dancing, work at McDonalds and pay it off making minimum wage. Maybe then you will think twice.

    My brother was killed by a drunk driver also .....but the drunk driver got a lot more than a slap on the wrist. He WAS the drunk driver and he paid with his life. Luckily he killed only himself and nobody else.

    Prior to his death, I had driven my car while semi-intoxicated, and once while EXTREMELY drunk. That ONE time, I did have to look to see if my car was there b/c I didn't remember. The only thing I vaguely remembered was completely blowing through a red light b/c I 'didn't feel like slowing down'.

    Since he died - 4 years ago - I have not made that mistake again. Unfortunately many people believe 'this will never happen to me or my family/friends' UNTIL IT DOES HAPPEN! (I was guilty of this)

    So, to the original poster, (I forgot your name, sorry), please use this as your lesson, seriously. I'm not going to pass judgement on you or anything like that, but I will remind you that you could kill a family or even yourself. IT CAN AND WILL HAPPEN TO YOU IF YOU CONTINUE.

    I'd also like to say that one yr after my brother's death, I was hit head on by a drunk driver. He had no lights on and he crossed not only the center lane, but also came all the way over onto the shoulder, where I was. It was dark, and I saw something, but I just wasn't sure what (which is why I was on the shoulder). It was one of the most terrifying things I've experienced.

    So, please be careful. Good luck.

    Cally in Indiana 1 beer can get you a DUI depending on your weight and if you dont wait an hour and its up to the officer's discretion.I do not think a beer or even 2 could majorly impair someone.Everyone who has even 1 beer in Indiana and drives is taking a chance.Thats like a vast majority in the clubs here.

    ^^^ Well, wait the fucking hour then! Or call a cab. And it generally takes a lot more than "one beer" to get so shitfaced you can't remember whether you drove at all. And multiple times!

    One drink per hour, max, and no drinks at all within two hours of leaving. This is not difficult to do. It's plenty enough alcohol for one person, especially if you're trying to work. And you're not going to kill people's loved ones this way. DUI's are there for a REASON.

    Now, I'm not saying it's okay to drive drunk... It's not. I think everyone will agree with that. But, don't tell me you never ran a red light, or went over the speed limit, or made an unsafe lane change. Of course, I can't understand how people can possibly have more than one DUI... One seems like enough to keep you straight forever... But let's not get all high and mighty here.
