I did all kinds of the same dumbass shit, but I never got caught. Where I grew up doesn't have the cop-population density problem you seem to suffer from. I can hide a buzz like no one else, though. Made it through a RIDE Program (Drunk driving checkpoint) whilst on the tail end of a decent LSD trip. "Thank you for not driving drunk, here is a goodie bag!" said the cop, and then I had to pull into a parking lot, because omg shiny stickerz.
IF we weren't so dumb, we would have simply walked around the block and finished smoking. It's driving around in places where there are mini-mansions and no commercial places/traffic. The undercover cops can spot people easily since it's in the open. At the very least we could have got onto the highway. Driving around in Manhattan is much easier because of the population and traffic covering you. Sometimes the misfortune of the undercover cops pulling up to you at a red light is about the only way to get caught. Unmarked cars, fake taxis, fake commercial vans, etc.
I havent pulled a drunken drive since 2008~. I can drive through toll booths at 4am fresh out the club, smelling like weed and Patron. Done if a few times. Never my car though. My friends usually get wasted drinking with me and then I have to drive them home in their own car. I prefer cabs, but some of them live in Queens, Brooklyn, or the Bronx and they wont cab back and forth while paying for overnight parking. They would rather let me drive them home. As if I wasnt drinking more than them.
I stopped that bullshit after my boy crashed on the highway after leaving from the club with me. He flipped over the car on the highway and crawled out and tried to walk away. Luckily for him one of our friends happened to be on the same highway going the same way. He sees the car and him, pulls up and gets him out of there. No one was hurt. He hit a plastic sand barrel, hit the divider and then rolled the car over twice. Normally I would have either been with him, or driving him, but that night he wanted to get to his girl's house. After that I said to myself enough of being stupid. They either cab it back or they dont drink so much. Fuck taking dumb risks for nothing.
