I am also in this position. I have never driven drunk before.
I have always had a DD or been the DD for my friends...we
take turns. However, I was stupid...no excuses. I just earned
my stupidity badge on Tuesday and will graduate with my
degree in August. I need to know if this offense will
preclude me from becoming a teacher in the state of New
Jersey. Any answers? What were your answers?
