Me and about 30 people I know all go to an all day concert that gets put on every year by a radio station. The one this story pertains to had Shinedown, Buck Cherry, Seether, and Seven dust headlining along with about 12 other bands… since beer is about 8 dollars per tiny cup once you get inside, my friends all arrive a few hours prior to the show and do some serious pregame. Unlike alot of my friends, I can drink jack daniels straight from the bottle and be fine, I rather enjoy it, so I had a liter of jack daniels with me plus some beer.
One of my friends has a beer funnel which is getting passed around. I see a string of younger kids putting about three quarters of their beer in it, and then complaining. So i thought “ill show these rookies how to funnel”. I pour my entire liter of jack daniels into the funnel plus another beer in with it, which topped it right off. As im drinking it I have my friend Davis pour a 2nd beer in as i drink. Jack has never bothered me to drink, and not one to puke, i handle it even better than i thought i would… for the next 20 minutes.
About 35 minutes later I am smashed… having trouble walking and the whole 9 yards. At this point i decide its a great idea to yet again wrestle one of my friends… who is also trained in brazillian jiu jitsu, except this time i cant perform because im shit faced… I wake up in the back of a friends car. Check the time on my phone and it was 5:30pm. When my friend got back I asked wtf happened. Marc had choked me out, and I never woke back up, so i got stuffed in the back of a car and everyone went into the concert. Someone had stolen my ticket and I missed the show.
The worst part is, I got home around 9pm (12 hours after i went unconcious) and feeling very tired and hungry, I decide to shoot down the road and snag some chinese food. After the half mile round trip to the chinese food place and back, i hear someone pull in behind me. As luck would have it, its a New York state trooper and hes already half way to my truck. After giving him my registration and license he comes back and informs me, that i DO NOT have a license, it had been suspened a month prior. So of course he smells the jack daniels and makes me get out of the truck, i get the sobriety test in my own driveway, and taken to the station for breathalizing. In my head im thinking im in the clear, theres no way after 12 hours im gonna blow high enough for a DWI. Turns out though…. i was still able to blow a .14 BAC.
Not my most bright and shining day… Missed a great show and got arrested for DWI, Driving without a license, and 5 other small tickets.
