My opinion is that you made one of the costliest bad decisions that a pilot can make. Prior to this incident, did you not know how the FAA views alcohol related offenses? Welcome to the world of a pilot. They aren't targeting YOU, you are going through the same process that anyone in your situation would be undergoing. It is a long and painful (and as you are learning) expensive process. Is it still worth it to you to go through with the requirements to fly? If so....in the future, and especially if you plan on making a career/life out of the professional pilot world - you need to rethink you're 'I have one or 4 beers when I'm out' mentality. It just isn't worth it in the long run. Save those 1-4 beers when you're at home watching the game or at a minimum when you aren't driving.
