Rum is for Drinking, Not for Burning

Sorry to be so late on posting, I had a hell of a weekend though. I've been drinking since I was 17, and I've never gotten caught. There have been tons of close calls, and I've lucked out more times than I care to remember, but my parents/the cops have never actually caught me drinking. Until now. Driving back from my friend J's apartment, I came to a roadblock. Ironically enough, it was caused by another drunk driver. There was a cleanup crew on the road and I attempted to drive between the vehicles...wasn't supposed to do that, apparently. One of the cops pulled up behind me and pulled me over. He asked for my license and insurance (which was expired, awesome) and then had me step out. He did the finger test and then breathalyzed me. .053. That's what I blew. If I was just 2 years older he probably would have sent me home with a warning, but instead I lose my license for 30 days and have to go to court. They towed my car, which cost 160 dollars, and the fine for drinking and driving will be around 300 I'm guessing. Sweet. I'm never drinking and driving again.

Now I just have to make it through this without my parents finding out...
