I got a DUI

[snoop]

I was so stupid the other night, I had two drinks, got pulled over and failed the breathalyzer. Will this affect my AL RN liscence when we renew next year

Before that I had a clean record, not even a ticket. I am no alcoholic just did something very stupid that I will never never do again

Kvack, where do you get off judging/attacking someone you don't even know?

After reading this thread, I don't find it strange at all. The way some of these folks have preached and brow beated, I wouldn't blame him/her for running away.

hi just thought i'd mention that a few weeks ago at an anniversary party a friend brought one of those portable breathelizers (SP?) and we were STUNNED at the readings! we had designated drivers so noone was driving who should'nt have bee, but one girl was 1.6 i was .4 (and felt it by the way) but absolutley everyone who had a drink was over our .08 limit!. one lady had chips and salsa and 1 vodka squirt and was .14 this just proves to me that drinking and driving don't mix at all, but i also realize that there are many MANY people who go to dinner and have 1 glass of wine or a drink and then drive home thinking they are fine, and maybe by the time they drive home they are, however i know seeing that .4 reading will stay with me for a long time because i had 3 drinks over the course of about 4 hours and took the test probably in the 2-3 hour. My life and future are to important to me to risk a dui so i will always use a designated driver. just something to think about.

Hi. I guess it's a matter of perception. I didn't see a lot of preaching and brow beating. A couple with strong opinions, yes.

I know you're in nursing school and I'm torn between advising you to keep that sensitivity and growing thicker skin. If you feel preached at and brow-beaten, don't run away, standup for yourself. But there is a time to turn the other cheek. Anyway, I'm babbling.

Glad it opened some peoples eyes. People mistakenly feel, like the original poster, that two drinks isn't much. But the law enforcement agencies just don't arbitrarily pick these numbers. Scientific studies prove at these levels people are impaired in their driving skills. Kudos for having designated drivers!

Please everyone - just a reminder - if you get flamed - report it and please don't quote it. Makes it hard to edit if it has already been quoted so even if the person decides to try and take back his/her words and apologise they can't.:imbar:
