I brought a 12 pack of High Life to the party. There were 4 left over. I weigh around 235. I started drinking at 11:00, left at 4:00, didn't drink the last hour before leaving. So that means I had 3 drinks left in me by the time I left. According to that chart, I had between a .04 and a .05. So there's that.

Are you sorry that you drove drunk, or are you sorry that you lost the girl becuase you told her about it?

I have no idea or excuse for why I drove drunk. My best bet is that I wanted to get home before my parents got up. I am ASHAMED of myself that I drove home drunk. When I told my best friend about it, he couldn't believe it himself. I couldn't imagine having to live with myself after killing somebody. It was an awful thing to do. However, I can firmly say that you are being extremely self-righteous if you think that you would never do such a thing and that only horrible people do such things because I said the exact same thing at one time. I care much less about the girl; after all, she might only be around for a little while, this will stay with me for life.

That's pretty much what I told her, and exactly how I feel. As a guy, it's hard for me to be forwardly reprehensive about my actions. Don't bullshit and say it's any different: 99 out of 100 times, men are going to try and act confident and unemotional. It's pretty much a fact, I actually read something about it in Reader's Digest a while back. So, mal, and the rest of you wondering why, there you go. Not that it's right, it's just the way it is. Science sucks sometimes.
Anyways, I just think she's going a bit overboard by condemning me for a mistake I'm seriously sorry for. I'd also like to note that I'm probably the least likely person to drive drunk again. Not exactly sure what to do next... I'll probably just wait for a week or so, see if I run into her, and if not, drop her an IM just to see how she's doing.
