Ironically enough, my fellow WTFers, in my only two adventures with the wonders of alcohol I have already been busted. That's right, busted. You see, after I wrote the second story I got an offer to finish off some extra bacardis with a friend who had been ditched by well...virtually everyone that night. So I decided, why the hell not.

We go to where we usually do, a vacant parking lot, a mere 50 feet from my backyard. We sit down, have one each, maybe, and he starts feeling bad. So we head back to my house to get some food and water, and calm his stomach down.

Soon enough, we head back out to finish whatever we want and head home, and a cop car rolls up OUT OF FUCKING NOWHERE. My friend starts booking it, but I tell him to stop and wait for the officer...because running from the cops would obviously make the incident much more grandiose and painful. Of course we get the patdown, and the officer learns that I'm actually 17, and my friend is only 18. And thus, we are taken home and my parents find out what I was doing. The officer was nice though, and decided not to charge either of us because we cooperated and didn't evade. Nor did we have any illegal things on us either...besides the alcohol we had before.

So yeah, drinking is bad. I can't believe how incredibly unlucky I am, that a cop just showed up in this seemingly vacant parking lot, and now I pay the price for being a delinquent. They have my SSN on file and my name jotted down...so if I fuck up anymore before I'm 21, I'll be fucked for life.

It sucks. I want a hug. Of course my parents are pissed off like a bee hive being poked repeatedly with a flaming stick covered in shit-sauce. But they do acknowledge that they were also teenagers once. But they still call me a "dumbass" and I feel like I'm not even comfortable at home anymore. The only place I can go is in my car and just sit there, soaking in the depressing gloom that is my inner emo-chi seeping out during a crisis.

Fucking a.
 
Awww, welshy, it's okay.

/me e-hugs you.

I had a police officer scare the shit out of me because they wanted me to narc on my boyfriend at the time. He cuffed me, put me in the back of the car, and took me to the station. He then proceeded to lock me in a room for an hour, then when he let me out, he questioned me about my boyfriend's drug use.

He didn't charge me with anything, and it's an 'off-the-record' arrest, I guess you could say.
 
Ah, don't worry about it. We all get busted for stupid shit every now and again. Hell, I'm going to court tomarrow for a (bullshit) ticket. It's part of life. Cops suck, and the only thing you can do is pray they don't catch you doing petty things. God forbid somebody

- breaks into your house and steals shit
- breaks into your car and steals shit
- assaults a friend
- mugs/robs a friend
- deals Class A and B drugs openly to a friend, effectively making him addicted

because cops wont do shit about it. (The aforementioned things have all happened to me, and I have filed NUMEROUS police reports about separate incidents, and nothing has ever been resolved/investigated/acknowledged).

But, oh no! Don't you DARE take a piss outside, behind a building, away from the traffic of the streets and sidewalks, because cops will follow you to the backyard and bust you.
 
hm ...
maybe you should move to Germany XD
legal age for beer and minor alcoholic drinks is 16 ^^(Although they wanted to change that a year ago or so :S as I had already come of age, it didn't interest me really anymore, so I don't know if they actually changed the law O_o)
and reaching 18 you are free to fucking drink whatever alcohol you desire :)
Probably not an option for you though :/

edit: but I know how stressing it can be to get into problems with the police. so:hug2:
 
I am yet to get arrested... but I did have a moment with a cop before

I was at a party (wasn't drinking at the time, was a DD) and I went to the forest reserve next door to tinkle (I didnt know the owner of the house). So, as I tinkle, a cop pulls up behind me and asks "How are you doing, sir?"

I got so flustered, I said back "Sorry bout that, I really needed to go bad." He asked where I came from and I pointed to the next door house. He asked if there was a party there... needless to say, 6 squad cars busted the party
 
Angrywelshman, try not to worry. Shit happens to the best of us, even me.. lol.. But seriously, try not to be so hard on yourself and the best thing you can do is move on and try not to think about it. I have been drunk many times.. and even though I have never been caught.. its still not fun waking up to find out you pissed all over the floor..
 
/me hugs Welshy. I have no advice to offer, because I've never been in this situation... well, other than find a friend's basement to drink in next time, and don't get too out of hand. :P

Your parents are going to do the parent thing that parents do when their kids fuck up. I got busted smoking at school, and I'll own up to the complete stupidity of it, but still. They're gonna give you hell for it for a while.

And emo-chi is good to have every once in a while, because I full-heartedly believe that everyone deserves to be emo sometimes. :P
 
Well I appreciate everyone's sympathy...really I do.

In response to "fuckedupshit" I can understand that you believe most teenager can't hold their alcohol and want to get shit wasted because they think its fun. Well listen, I am a teenager, and you would be right. But I can hold my alcohol, and I don't drink because I am NEVER INVITED to these sorts of social events. So I let you slide because it's easy to assume those actions from teenagers, hell it's just downright true in most respects.

Now, I also respect what you said and all, but I don't really appreciate the message of "stop your fuckin crying and buck up." First off, I'm not crying about it, I'm ranting. It sucks to be involved with the police. I am a white-collar, A student at a good high school here in Virginia. For me to even be that close to a cop is enough to make my balls shrink to the size of a neutrino. Second, I know that a minor alcohol busting is not that severe but in retrospect my parents were the ones I was most terrified of, and that's why I went through the whole story to explain it. Try to put yourself at my age, wouldn't the phrase, "OH SHIT I AM FUCKING BONED" be going through your head?

Just trying to broaden your views.
 
Check it out welshy.

They didn't charge you with anything, so even though have your name on file, there is no record to go along with it, so that shouldn't fuck you over.

Even if you HAD been charged with either an open container, or an underage with intention to consume, the fine is exteremly minimal (I'm talking $50) and it's a mere slap on the wrist.

Basically, the only way you are screwed is with your parents. I'd be more worried about them finding out your a boozehound than any lousy cop.
 
ouch. That fucking sucks. Before I was 18 I got arrested twice. Curfew violation and possesion of tobbaco. Hmm...nothing like booze though.
I, personally woulda just drank it in my backyard. I've done it before. But you can't go back now. Just deal with your parents' bullshit for now. It'll get better...eventually. and...hugs for you..:hug2:
