Easy on yourself dude. Many of us have been there or damn close..... degenerates griping the wheel and praying with a black an white scoping on the tail.- Ya made a mistake and thankfully nobody was hurt.
Pay the lawyer money, fines, do the classes and handle it.

If you really want to join the sobriety set... Welcome aboard.
Drinking is not for everybody. There are a lot of us who really shouldn't and have quit. Not a drink in 15 years. Before that I drank daily, literally.
Now you will see who your real friends are. the ones that want you to, "Just have one beer" are not your friends. Your friends will support your decision not to drink. The old saying that, "Misery loves company." is true. And there are those who think that if they have to have a drink, so do you, that is if you are their friend...
If you take a poll you would be surprised at the number of people on this forum that do not drink...
Not everyone needs help walking away from alcohol. If you can stop drinking on your on, more power to you... If you need help get it. Will you always want a drink... Yes...

Not trying to downplay the fact you were drunk and driving but shouldnt they have told u the reason you were pulled over? Do you just not remember why? Either way BOL going forward, had a buddy of mine get one a year ago and it has been tough on him and family but he is doing his best.

honestly talking to them was kind of a blur because i knew i had been drinking a little bit and i was nervous and a lot of garbage was goin thru my head but i am pretty sure he said i wasn't maintaining my lane

That mandatory 12 hour hold in california sucks doesn't it. It ends up being 15 hours at least before they call your name. I saw grown men in there crying like babies saying their life was completely over. I was happy when the guard tossed all of us our sack lunches, nobody was eating there's so I was full when I left.
Classes will teach you a lot and there are hot women in there as well.. Make the best of it.

First off I respect your character to talk about a personal and difficult issue... too often this site is littered with cut/paste, recycled BS... I appreciate you being real...
belt,
you should be okay... 2 nites a week does not indicate a physical dependence where you would need detox...
your goal now is to get the system out of your life... the reality is that you are in the system now and your job is jump through all of the hoops and hurdles as stupid as they may seem...
i think your idea of having fun without alcohol is a good idea as you need balance in your life...
sounds corny but one step at a time... there is no way to speed this process up, although there are numerous ways to extend it and stay in the system

Read an article last week that they want to move the impaired number down to .05 from .08 and that is just ridiculous. .05 would mean you could have about 1 1/2 drinks and be considered impaired. Nonsense.
You've got to admit, at .16 you were twice the legal limit, so you were drunk. I'm guessing .16 would be about 8 or 9 beers.
The main thing is that you didn't injure anybody else that night. Count your blessings because the rest of your life would have been Hell if you had killed or disabled another person because of a one-time terrible decision to drive.
12 hours being processed must have been a reality check.

I wonder if it's even worth hiring an attorney if you blew a .16?
The lawyer can't reduce it to a wet reckless. Could he stand tall before the man, deliver a short speech on lesson well learned and get the same punishment without paying a legal fortune?
Classes, fine to the court and probation. Just a thought.

A buddy of mine got DUI two or three years ago, that cost him some $10,000 for a lawyer and some down time on driving a car. Next time when you go out drink, get a designate driver or call a cab, it will save you huge money and hassle.

Start going to classes and some AA meetings and have documentation to show the judge when you go in front of him.Tell him you screwed up but that it wont happen again cause you are through with booze.Go to the DA and tell them the same and that you are gone to plead guilty and ask if they will reduce the charge, and speaking of that you REALLY should look at the charging document.You might have more on there than just failure to maintain.

Ya i am gonna definitely look at the report before the court date and i was honest and upfront to the officers from first contact. I am not saying i was innocent but i dont think i was .16 tho.....maybe the blood will tell a diff story....i probabaly was over the .08 tho. Ill do what i gotta do ya know...i effed up.
As far as lowering the level to .05 ya i wouldnt even have a single drink and then drive.....so many people are gonna be nabbed.
And as for the time in there ya its definitely a deterrent.....although both staff and others in there were cool to me
