A Young Man’s Excessive Drinking Leads To a DWI and Time Locked Up In Jail

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

Jesse had an exceptionally difficult time keeping a job. As a matter of fact, because of his slothfulness and lack of motivation, he was unemployed far more regularly than he was in a job situation. And when he did secure a job, he had a hard time getting to work when his shift began, he typically received poor performance assessments, and he called off sick so consistently that he regularly got fired two or three weeks after he began working. To no one’s wonder, one of the effects of Jesse’s unacceptable work track record was the fact that he was virtually penniless on a day-to-day basis.

Regardless of Jesse’s less than passing employment record and financial misconduct, however, by some means he made it his business to drink a great deal most of the time.

So it came as no big shock when Jesse got a third DWI. When he went to court, the judge told Jesse that his alcohol-related actions was awful and, as a consequence, he was going to sentence Jesse to serve seven months in the city jail.

Time In The City Jail To Reflect On The Harmful Consequences of Thoughtless Drinking

During his time while locked up in jail, Jesse was required to learn more about alcohol facts, about the negative outcomes of excessive and irresponsible drinking, and he was expected to get alcohol therapy. The judge emphasized the fact that unless Jesse gets professional alcohol counseling and learns how to live a life of sobriety, he will probably be spending more than a short amount of time locked up.

Jesse stated that he comprehended what the magistrate was pronouncing but he still thought that jail was not the most effective sentence. The magistrate disagreed and stated that it was his responsibility to keep alcohol dependent persons off the streets who drink and drive and who get arrested for a DWI. To corroborate this assertion, the judge quoted some long-standing, highly researched alcohol statistics that stressed some of the disruptive effects that are related to hazardous and irresponsible drinking.

Even though Jesse knew that he drank in an excessive and abusive manner, he never felt that he was an alcohol dependent individual. So it was a real shocker when Jesse began suffering from alcohol withdrawal symptoms about six hours after going to jail.

To deal with his symptoms of alcohol withdrawal in a safe manner, Jesse was taken by ambulance to a drug and alcohol treatment facility for alcohol detoxification and then brought back to the municipal jail. While locked up in the county jail Jesse received alcohol treatment but since he received this rehabilitation as something that was imposed upon him, he did not take ownership of his abusive drinking.

When his time in the local jail was finished, the magistrate without vacillation told Jesse that he would be under rigorous scrutiny and would be required to take random urine alcohol tests.

Jessie’s Hazardous and Excessive Drinking Prevents Him From Living in a Responsible and Adult Manner

After hearing how Jesse neglected to take ownership of his drinking circumstances and how he reluctantly followed the rehab protocol while in jail, the judge knew that it was just a matter of time before he would be seeing Jesse once again in court about his abusive and irresponsible drinking behavior. As the judge thought about Jesse’s circumstance, he couldn’t help but think about how some individuals never use their intellect and learn how to live in an adult and mature manner.
