I fucked up: My near miss DWI story

I started the day off by securing a klonpin prescription from the campus pharmacy. I took a few, ate a bunch of thai and tried to figure out what to do for the night. Ended up goin over to some friends to drink wine, drank a magnum among friends and decided to drive home. I live about 2-3 miles from my friends so i thought it wouldnt be a problem.
Make my way back home and make the mistake of going through the main sqaure (where all the bars are) in town. Majorly fuck up and take the wrong way on a one way street. I immediately am flagged down by a cop in front of me and one that pulls up behind me. FUCK. klonopin in my system and a good bit of wine, I figure im fucked and my probation will be revoked etc. Cop pulls me out, searches my person (i consented as i had nothing illegal) and starts the field sobriety test.
First test is the waving the pen in front of my face with a flashlight shining from above. Followed by the walking a straight line and back and holding the foot up and counting to 30. I did pretty well all factors considering, although he claimed i failed and he could take me in for DWI. luckily i somehow got the only legit cop in texas because he told me he would let me call a cab or walk home. They questioned me about drug use before letting me go to which i denied entirely.
Fuck i feel like an idiot and that was a close fucking call. Had to share the experience.

There's nothing cool about driving when you aren't sober
You get no sympathy, don't do it again

I didnt make it out to be cool, thanks for the input. regardless, like i could give a fuck what you think about my actions. I was just sharing a story.
but hey, I guess a guy as morally sound as yourself would have thought of all that.

it's a pretty boring story 
would have been a lot more interesting if he handcuffed you and made you blow him in the back seat of his cruiser before he let you go.

I've found the "move your eyes to the flashlight" test impossible to beat. I used to rake in some clams during undergrad by going to these DUI training tests where cops would give us free alcohol, get us drunk, and then DUI cops in training would give us the test. When drunk, when the dude brought the flashlight to the far end of my vision range on the left or right my eyes would invariably bounce back towards center indicating intoxication. To combat this, I would stop following him when my eyes could go no further left or right without strain. Seemed to work okay. Picking a point off in the distance seems to help a bit too. Even so, that test scares me enough to not drive drunk most of the time.

You were lucky, especially mixing benzos and alcohol. I hope this is a lesson learned and you don't do it again.

Glad that you are ok, although it isn't a good habit to consent to a search just because you THINK you don't have anything illegal in a car.
Also, benzodiazapine + ethanol =
Last time I put two and two together, (four mg xanex and pints of jack daniels respectively), I woke up with no money and twenty xbox games. I didn't even own an xbox at the time...
