I think your post should begin with you admitting to being a complete and utter cock, I think it is important that you realise and admit just how stupid you are to:
And I’ll say that I’m glad that you at least stayed in the parking lot and didnt go driving. Although I agree with Nate that teh leap in logic it required for your idea “dry out for two hours” became instead “do donuts in the parking lot” made me laugh.

Nope. This is the same guy that got caught smoking weed and jerking off in his car. I think he was also busted for growing pot, domestic disturbance etc.
His life is a mess and he needs to fix it. There is no point in sugar coating it.
You are not fucked, not in any respect. You will have court costs and fees which will run you some money. You will also have AA to do which will be an inconvenience, but its not like you are screwed for life. I hate when people think shit like this because others who have no idea put out falsa propaganda.
I was once assigned to see an LCSW who had 4 DUI’s in his life, and he was able to drive and live life without incident. Do your homework and get it done. Don’t fuck with the court. Just do what they ask, get out of their hair and move on.
Getting a lawyer will help, you could always question the accuracy of the breathalizer, but that hasnt worked much in the past. The judge will probably go easy on you, so just be smarter in the future. Your life will be fine, just make smarter decisions is all.

As far as I know, in Mass., the field breathalyzer is not admissable in court - only the one at the station is valid.
And, just so ya know, everyone who doesn’t fall over and break their nose thinks they “pass” the field sobriety test. Personally, I think it’s useless to begin with.
The better your lawyer the less you have to worry. More likely the officer just wanted you to stay the night because he thought you were stupid. If you got caught jerking off and smoking weed in the car recently, you may be pretty bad off. Otherwise your just out $750 for the lawyer.

I agree. I have a few friends that are officers here and they’ve all said that people will ‘fail’ the FST even when they are well under the legal limit. Many will fail simply because they are nervous.

The car was running and it was moving so he was driving.
Doing doughnuts in a parking lot at night when he’s drying out shows a level of impairment that someone who hadn’t been drinking wouldn’t have.
Being drunk has NOTHING to do with it. Having a blood alcohol level that is highly correlated with a dangerous decline in ones reflexes and their ability to drive is why the charge is driving under the influence.
Nuff about some stupid FST. Is that short for FIST?
It’s exactly what OP should have gotten between the eyes for DUI. Seriously folks, Don’t Drink and Drive.
So maybe OP has got some serious issues. A belligerent is an individual, group, country or other entity which acts in an aggressive or hostile manner, such as engaging in combat. What else do you call getting caught ‘engaging in combat’ with his weiner?
Real T-Men and T-Women don’t cause problems, we solve them.
About two weeks ago there was a story in the news about a guy who got arrested for sitting in his parked car with the ignition on while he was drying out. So my arrest is not outrageous or unfair by any stretch, and I never implied that it was.

FST are NOT required to be taken in most states(all if I remember correctly, you must take a chemical test although). In fact field sobriety tests are designed to failed. Don’t believe me? A study was done with 21 completely sober people(0.00BAC) completing FST. 14 police officers were asked to review the tapes(they did not know they all had 0.00BAC), they said 46% of the people had too much to drink.
