Unidentified court participant says he drank "about 8 beers, 2 points of tequila" before a night in jail
Summary
An unidentified participant at the Municipal Court of Providence said he consumed "about 8 beers, 2 points of tequila" the night he spent in jail, and that the incident occurred the night before his 50th birthday; no charges or case outcome are specified in the transcript.
An unidentified participant at a hearing in the Municipal Court of Providence told the court, "I mean, I had, I don't know, about 8 beers, 2 points of tequila," admitting to heavy drinking the night he spent in jail.
The exchange, captured in the court transcript, included a brief clarification from another speaker who asked, "You drank 2 points of tequila?" The unidentified participant confirmed the amount and described the night as "wild." He also said the incident happened the night before his birthday, adding, "I turned 50 years old. So, basically, I left my forties in jail, and I entered my fifties in jail. I'm pretty upset about that."
When asked when he began to feel "boozy," the participant said the tequila came first and that he drank more beer afterward. He said he was celebrating and declined cake and candles; he referenced drinking tall beers and "Jose Cuervo" tequila (transcription corrected from "Jose Cuava").
Toward the end of the exchange, the participant said, "I'm done now... I my wish now is not to drink during my first year in my fifties. So I'm gonna try to live through that." The transcript does not record any formal charge, plea, sentence or other court action associated with this admission.
Because the transcript provides only this brief colloquy, key procedural details—charges, case number, and court disposition—are not specified.
