I spent the night for a stupid reason at a police station and people know it without knowing the reason behind it, what would be the most honorable way to get around this unfortunate episode? (sh.itjust.works)

What would be the less shameful reason why you would have to be detained overnight?

Least shameful would probably be drunk tank. Anyone who drinks has overdone it at some point, some people were just unlucky and happened to be noticed by an officer

Yeah, pretty much this. I'd seriously go for @RamRabbit@lemmy.world's advice, but if you must lie about it, just say that you got a bit too wasted, couldn't find a ride, and a cop found you before a friend did. One night in the drunk tank isn't a big deal
