This definitely isn’t an ideal situation and I’m sorry you’re going through it, but I can’t say the consequences weren’t deserved. They fit the situation. Drinking and driving is incredibly dangerous and while you may think you’re okay, there’s a good chance you’re not, especially if you’ve had more than one or two drinks. You see tons of people who think they’re okay to drive and then they fail the sobriety tests. I know Ubers are expensive but it seems as if it’s a lot more expensive to get your car out of impound and pay for bail, AND to have consequences like no ID in the meantime. Can you borrow money from your parents to get a non-driver ID in the meantime?

If your drinking is getting to the point where you’re getting in trouble with the law I STRONGLY urge you to get help from either an individual therapist or some type of rehab program. The judge may even be more lenient on you if you say you’re accepting help and truly mean it.
