some of us aren't that age, have never driven drunk, and did not drink as teens.

This kid is full of whiny rationalizations and was too dimwitted to just call the court and explain "I can't do my hours right now because of an ear surgery. what can I do to fix this?" They'd have given him an extension, because they don't have time to deal with nonsense like that.

Instead it's "Woe is me! You all drive drunk, all of you!!! I was a KID!" etc. etc. etc. Excuses and more excuses, rather than a simple acceptance of responsibility and an acknowledgement that he's clearly got alcohol/substance abuse issues.

Lame, weak, and small.
