I'm Such An Idiot!

So I park the car up in my mates street and we head up the local pub to start our session with a few of the lads (8pm). After a few beers one of the guys suggests we move on so we head to the station and catch a train to the next town. We check out some new place (very swanky) and we all start to get rather merry after consuming a fair amount of alcohol. It comes to closing time and we all decide to head off to a club, loads more alcohol is consumed and the dance floor is burning.(4 am)The night has come to an end and I have consumed beer, cider, tequila, jack daniels and a few smirnoff ices for good measure. When we get back what do I do? I jump into the car and drive the 5 mile journey home!
I know what you are thinking, asshole and yes you are right I am indeed an asshole! Anyway I wake up in my own house with a rather sore head in the early afternoon, I have several texts asking to interpret messages left on voicemail etc and I also find out I gave one of mates a lift home! My first thought is to go check the car, its parked perfectly in the drive! Basically I cant look myself in the eye if I'd got caught I would be facing a very heavy fine and a long ban. Not only that I could have killed myself, my mate, another driver or a general member of the public. I cant explain my actions or why it happened and I honestly dont remember much of the journey home.
I know everyone knows this but dont drink and drive, not only that just leave the car alone fullstop if you intend to drink then you wont have the temptation to just jump off home in the car!

I doubt you'll win many friends here admitting you drink and drive but then i guess as long as you're not advocating it and have no plans to do it again its forgetable.
I'm sure he will have friends here, you can't judge someone on drink driving, yes you can think he is a twat (which you are for doing something so stupid) but for all you know he could be a real decent friendly guy
Why not?
I'm sure you have done some stupid things in your time and wouldn't like it if people decided not to like you for that, everyone deserves a chance, one atleast anyway.
We know, however we are discussing a comment that icey made right now.
It is clear what the purpose of the thread is and it is also common sense not to drink and drive to many, including the original poster.
When I pass The Test I'm not gonna do that don't worry.
sometimes when you're under the influence it's easy to think you're invincible and that your reactions etc are just the same when really they're not.
The best thing to do is not even allow yourself acess to the car, leave the keys in at where ever your staying that night
