What you need to do is have a plan and be aware of the consequences of drinking way before you go to the party so if you do ever get drunk, it's instinct not to drive or go home with "Big Leroy" and you're not left to try to be logical while intoxicated. Doing something instinctively is a lot easier than thinking it through while drunk. You should have it tatooed in your mind that "Holly shit, I'm drunk right now. There is no way I'm driving. " Better yet, plan to spend the night there ahead of time or have your sober buddy drive you or if you're a girl, be there with a female friend who will look out for you and prevent Big Leroy from confusing you while you're drunk.

For a lot of people, being drunk as hell and not driving is an easy decision, but where a lot of people get in danger is when they've only had a few drinks and have a buzz. That's where the danger of getting a DUI is. That's where your better judgement will get lost. You don't have to be completely drunk to be considered drunk by the law and losing your entire life. I'm not claiming to be an angel here, but if you drink you know when you're buzzed and you will try to justify things "Oh, I'm only a few blocks away...I'm fine...sure, I'm fine..." but you're not. Wait a couple of more hours at the party, eat a few more of those oven taquitos that are 100% sodium, and only when you're sure you're sober and you're not fooling yourself drive home.

And remember, if your American buddy fucks up and gets a DUI (assuming he doesn't kill anybody), the worst thing that will happen to him is he will lose his license for a year, pay a big surcharge and have a DUI on his record for ever that will keep him from getting a decent job. In your case, in all likelyhood, your ass will be deported in addition to anything else that happens to you and that's not even the worst case.

I know it won't fix anything: it can't be fixed. I'm simply giving my opinion the same way you are. Because if at the end the consequences will be the same no matter what I say or no matter what you say, then why is she asking for advise here in the first place.

You got it?

It’s something that ANYONE can avoid. Do you want to have some drinks or get all drunk? Easy, have you heard of lyft, cabs? You can call them if you’re drunk and they take you home without putting your life and others in risk. Is that too hard to do?

Dreamers who just decide to do this despite their situations do not deserve to find the sympathy that you guys showed to the OP. We have all the nation’s eyes upon us, to find every single step we take to talk bad about us, and still some dreamers have the audacity to mess up like this? Seriously? You guys only throw all the good work that some of us have done,. This is a slap in the face for those dreamers who started this movement but we’re left out because they aged out.

From the bottom of my heart to the OP, I hope this does affect you and you end up losing your DACA. We don’t need people like you within our community.

It's like Iamaman said above, people make stupid terrible decisions, its human nature. So again, I say to you go ahead and cast the first stone if you think you deserve to.

There is absolutely no excuse for drinking and driving, none whatsoever. At least no court has ever pardon someone for giving them a good excuse as to why they drove intoxicated.

But if you lost someone to such an accident, my condolences. The fact still stands that berating someone on the Internet will not fix anything. Im willing to bet that you're still as angry, and now we have another person (op) that feels like sh!t. And at the end of the day her punishment will be the same.
