here are some rough estimates I remember
$8600 at Champps Sports Bar
$3400 at various liquor stores
$12000 in attorney fees
$1800 in house arrest fees
$5700 in alcohol tether fees
$2000 in court costs
$1800 in probation fees
..........there were more but those are the biggies I could put together based upon what I paid for with checks or my atm card. I don't have any idea how many 1000's more I blew in cash.

and like I said, the money lost/wasted was the least of my expenses....
