    So I read up on some DUI facts and whatnot and found that apparently mouth alcohol, due to burping/hiccuping/and regurtation, will up the BAC reading.

    I'm thinking about hiring a lawyer to use these in an attempt to maybe help with the license supension.

    I am in no way trying to get my charges dropped.

    I'd just prefer to get some professional help on my side that knows the laws better then I do.

    Good idea? Or just say no contest while representing myself and hope for the best?

    EDIT: Regurgitation and hiccuping are things I do when I'm drunk. I had terrible heart burn leading up to the arrest.

    That and a lot of burping while I was driving.

    I don't think getting a lawyer is ever a bad idea.

    I know.

    I just feel weird, like I'm trying to not account for my actions.

    Hence why I feel the need to stress that I'm not trying to get my charges dropped.

    with twice the legal limit... the burping had little to do with it.

    A lawyer couldn't hurt, but in all honesty, it's probably money better spent on transportation for the next 6 months.

    Generally, the Judge will not give you the maximum penalty (especially if you go to the court before the summons date expires), and if he does revoke your license, he will probably give you a temporary one if you work or go to school.

    He will probably also tell you to go to AA for a couple of months. I don't mean to sound too preachy, but if he doesn't you might think about going anyway. If for no other reason than to see firsthand how alcohol can ruin a person's life.

    You should get a lawyer.... The judges will rip you in two without one, I guarantee it.

    Filler, why do you feel that you have to have the charges to be accountable? I assure you, after they are done with you, you will feel pretty god damn accountable. They aren't going to be like, "well buddy, it was your first one, so we'll let it slide, traffic court!", without a lawyer you will be fucked. With a lawyer. You will still be fucked. And don't let anyone convince you that it will be cheaper to not get a lawyer. They will fine the shit out of you. I know a lot of people with DUI's, they fucking suck. Don't drive after drinks for a really long time either, any cop that runs your plates for years will pull you over anytime after sunset.
    He will probably also tell you to go to AA for a couple of months. I don't mean to sound too preachy, but if he doesn't you might think about going anyway. If for no other reason than to see firsthand how alcohol can ruin a person's life.

    That sounds pretty fucking preachy to me. Look at religion, and you can see how badly being preachy can ruin a persons life. Give me a few beers every night anytime.

    It doesn't sound preachy at all.

    I am planning on attending AA.

    I don't think I'm an alcoholic, as I was explaining to my aunt, I can have one drink without deciding I need 5 more.

    But I definitely think I'm on a track that will lead to alcoholism if I don't do something to snap me out of this 'I'm young and have tons of time to PARTY!' phase.

    My family is full of addicts. I learned awhile ago that I become addicted to things very quickly, and as such, I have to stop myself from doing things that I think could get me hooked. Smoking, Sex, Drugs, Video Games and gambling are all shit that I've been addicted to. Lacking self control can be a real bitch. I wish I could quit smoking...

    He died last Christmas Eve from complications of Gastric Bypass surgery. He wanted to find an easier way to losing weight besides just plain getting outside, walking and going to the gym (which he did a few times, but just stopped). In an ironic twist of fate, the hospital where he died had the gym where he (and me and my younger brother on occasion) went to.


    The more I think about it, he pretty much introduced me to all my modern day hobbies (anime - showed me 'Akira' when I was in elementary school; video games - played games on his old Commodore 64; computers (more specifically IT) - self-explanatory)

    Right before the salt drop kicked in, my dog, whose two-year cancer fight was over, twisted her head around and looked me in the eyes. Then, when I tried to carry her out to the vet's car, I couldn't lift her body, even though I'd carried her before.

    Only time I've cried since I was little.

    Okay, let me try to explain Urian, and he does have a point here. While its all nice and good to say what we won't ever do, without being confronted by the issue its all kinda moot when you think about it. I mean, I can go and say that I'm never going to do something, but really, are you a fucking soothsayer? Can you tell the future? No, you can't, so lets stop dealing with concretes. Before we go ripping wombat a new one just because he said that he sometimes feels like hitting his girl, lets think about this for a minute. I might feel like stealing this CD from my cousin's car, or maybe I feel like fucking my friend's fiancee. Doesn't mean I will, because I classify these things as dishonorable. But maybe in three weeks I get struck by lightning and turn into an asshole. Who the fuck knows.

    What then? Words are fucking wind.

    I have felt like hitting a woman before. I can openly admit that. In my defense, I didn't actually hit her, despite her being dumb as fuck and insulting my sister which, had she been male, would have resulted in me breaking her fucking legs with a baseball bat.

    wait what I didn't say that shit

    But seriously, people should know this by now. I've been posting on the forums for a few years, SE a few months.

    Also, one of the saddest things I've had happen to me was when my pet turtle Scooter ran away. I still think it was a conspiracy concaucted by my parents so they wouldnt have to take care of it when we forgot to feed it.
