DUI Tampa - It's Gameday and Alcohol is Plentiful

"It's 8:20 a.m. on Saturday, more than 11 hours before the start of the Georgia-Auburn football game, and Justin Nichols is in the Five Points Bottle Shop buying a half-gallon of tequila and some margarita mix. Next he'll pick up his girlfriend and meet his friends to tailgate. They'll begin drinking immediately. . . .

It's 2:30 a.m., and students are leaving the bars. A line of people snakes down the sidewalk outside The Grill, a 24-hour diner. In the next hour a 21-year-old will be stabbed after leaving a Broad Street bar. An Auburn student will take off his clothes and streak through downtown. At the jail, police process arrests through the night. The tally: 30 arrests for underage possession, 15 for having an open container of alcohol, 12 for public intoxication or disorderly conduct, two for DUI, two for fake identification and two for public indecency."

Stand up! Heels together. Toes out. Hands at your sides. Raise the leg of your choice in front of you, 6 inches off the ground, leg straight, toe pointed. Keep your eyes on your raised toe and begin counting aloud from 1,001 until I say stop.

One thousand one. One thousand two ...

Some dark night on the side of the road, police car lights flashing in your peripheral vision, your freedom might depend on how well you do this. "
