45BB/100 followed by a trip to jail!

[jk3a]

If you asked me yesterday, I wouldn't have been able to tell you the last time I played B&M. I came home from work and found that my cable connection wasn't working so I headed to the local casino at about 6pm to play 3/6 before meeting up with my friends for a few drinks.

I was running as hot as I ever have. I was flopping monster after monster and got paid off for 3 hours solid. I left at approx. 9:15 after winning $330 (55BB). It was so exhilirating. For the ~3 hr. stretch at the casino, I drank 5 or 6 beers.

After driving home and meeting up with my friends, we went out to one of the local bars. I left the bars at approx. 12am after having 3 more beers, and on my way home ran into a sobriety check. It wasn't long before I found myself under arrest for DWI and handcuffed in the back of a police van to some guy I've never met.

Before any of you recommend AA, I typically drink just a few times a month and rarely have more than a few beers because I usually end up driving my drunken friends home. I have never been arrested, nor had any close calls in the past. I'm not trying to excuse my irresponsible behavior, just feel like I should tell the whole story.

Anyway, after sitting at the jail for almost an hour, one of the guards tells me that I have a $500 dollar bond that I need to pay before I can leave and offers me a list of bondsman to help me get out. If it weren't for the earlier poker session, I would've been stuck there for god knows how long. I hadn't emptied my pockets yet from the earlier session and had the cash on me. What sweet irony it was!

For the record I would like to admit that I should probably not have been behind the wheel, but I was one of those idiots who thought it would just never happen to me. I just so happened to refuse to take the breathalizer, so I don't even know if I was over the .08 legal limit. I bet it was pretty close, but I'd heard several times that it's better to not blow from a legal standpoint, who knows?

My favorite part of the whole story was that the battery on my cell phone was dying on my way out of the bar. I shut it off to conserve the battery. After turning it on after bailing myself out, I discovered a message from one of my other friends warning me about the location of the checkpoint. I'm still a little too made about this to think it's funny, but I'm sure I'll laugh about it someday.

I hope everybody enjoyed my story in the I'm glad it wasn't me way. I hope that someone can learn from my mistake. Take a cab, get a ride, or just drink responsibly please. It's not worth it. I'm a such a [censored] idiot.
