Calm down, I'm the only one here with jail time. I've posted in the past about how my second DUI led to a 30 day jail sentence, served 20 with good behavior credit. Jail was horrible, but at least I didn't hurt anyone with my car. When one corrections officer found out I had a CS PhD, he asked "what are you doing in here?" I said "Even smart people can make bad judgements."

Other inmates said I needed a street name, so I said Rock Steady, and they loved it. But, rooting for the Pistons against the Lakers in a California jail takes some toughness.

I think we've covered that. Thoroughly.

"I work at an intense software engineering job at a high-profile yet stealth early stage company."

Perhaps you should not log in from work. Not only is it unprofessional, it steals time = money from a company who is counting on you to work, not post on a message board.

To expect people to post for your "stolen moments from work" convenience is a bit self-indulgent.

Take it easy, dude. I've already been thru this, but for the newbies, I always take public transit to games or events where I will be drinking. If I have my car with me I don't drink at all. It's a simple policy that takes care to implement.

The public transit between Oakland and Silicon Valley is horrible. But, I do it. I went to about 20 Warriors games and more events. Usually, I take the long 2 hour trip to go to the game. Going home I go south on BART to Fremont, and take a $60 taxi home.

At work, I skip the monthly beer and wine party when I have my car to drive home.

I've been doing this plan for a couple of years. I don't drink and drive anymore. These days a $60 taxi fare seems reasonable.

(Note: First DUI I was not drunk. 0.08% is under the influence. One is surprised how 0.08% doesn't even feel that buzzed.)

One may even be surprised how impaired one can be before one is "feeling that buzzed".
