Ryan's Story:

I was out with some friends this past weekend. We ended up playing video games and drinking beer at my cousin's house. My friend's girlfriend called him a few hours into the evening. She was mad that he was out with us, "drinking again". He asked me to drive him over to her place so he could talk to her....and maybe do a little making up, if you know what I mean. About two miles from her apartment, we were joking around in the car and I ran a stop sign. It all happened so fast. I hit an oncoming SUV. Thankfully, none of us were hurt, but the driver of the SUV called the cops on his cell phone. I was arrested for drunk driving. I can't believe I was so stupid. I didn't even realize I was that drunk. The officer told me I blew a .12....I had no idea. When we left my cousin's house I only felt like I had a little buzz. My parents are really mad and I'm going to have to borrow money for an attorney and to pay all the fines. I wish I could take back the night.
