Not sure how the Xanax will effect the case but in many states a first offense DUI (with no injuries in the accident, makes it non aggregated ) gets you first offense 1 year probation. It's not a felony and it mostly disappears from your record. A cop running your plates won't see it and an employment background check wont see but if you got arrested again the judge will know. You probably get one year license suspension but usually can drive (except the first month) if you get a breathilizer installed in your car.
I got acquitted of DUI after hitting a tree because the cops didn't do any DUI procedures at the scene, They just put me in an ambulance and the hospital charged me 9 grand to tell me I was uninjured. For that reason the judge threw out all the evidence saying my rights were violated. (But my lawyer, a really good lawyer, said we had the best judge in the county). The judge did give me the license suspension because he said refusing to let the police test me after the doctors were finished was a civil offense and the burden of proof on the state, is far less than a criminal offense. So I avoided getting any kind of DUI on my record, and it didn't have to do evaluation and classes, but it still costs big money.
Hope you live in a state that gives first offenders a decent break.

This, I'm in California, and a few years ago. I was blacked out, drove and crashed into a parked car totaling both. I was guilty as fuck, admitted to the police I had taken pills ect.
The public defender got my dui charge reduced to wet and reckless driving, no license suspension, 3 years court probation and a no bac while driving for 3 years along with a 900$ fine. I got super lucky and got off light even with a public defender. A lawyer of some kind is nessicariy, go apply for a public defender and talk to them asap if you don't have any other options.

are you facing possession charges too? if not then you probably wont face any issues with student loans or anything.
also vriska lay off the dude, its not like its the dudes fourth or fifth dui or someone was hurt, it was a stupid mistake and OP shouldn't have to worry about it costing him his future or a shot a college for a stupid mistake that odds are will never happen again.

OP needs to lawyer up. Cops are notoriously nice to you in the beginning ....they got a very good case already . Since there was an accident, your chances are a little worse for walking.
My recommendation would be to re-enter the rehab you just left and tell them everything. You need a lawyer because you are facing jail time regardless of what happened to any of your friends. Chances are that you won't get any jail time, but the chance is still there. These things always come down to who the judge is that will preside over your case...and, a good lawyer knows the harsh ones and will usually find a reason to reschedule in hopes of getting a more lenient judge.
First thing you gotta do is own what you just did...you could have easily killed yourself and others...coming across like someone is being unreasonably hard on you is bogus...especially if you know anybody that's been killed in a DUI.
Lastly, this won't ruin your life....it will be in your rearview mirror before you know it....just a few years. LEARN from it...shooting dope is a cowards way to deal with this....it shows immense entitlement issues.

Right? What is spinning around in your dads head? Fuck his recommendations they haven't worked out well for you. Get a lawyer with or without their help and get the charge reduced as much as possible. Don't get stuck with a DUI, at least hear your options through a $$ hundred consultation. I'd rather go into debt 10k than have a DUI - no brainier.

I had no intentionsuch if driving that night, I knew I was obliterated. But the girls dad found out we were fucked up (she's a recovering heroin addict) and automatically assumed we had been doing dope and told me to take his daughter and get the fuck out of his house.
I had no more money on me for a taxi and the dude was literally standing on the porch of the house totally irate, yelling at me to take my car and leave his house or he'd call the cops. So my hands were kinda tied.
Not making excuses, I own up to it but shit happens. I find it hard to believe that a forum of drug users have never made similar mistakes?? Lolololol
