Zachery Ty Bryan is headed to jail for 16 months stemming from a 2024 DUI arrest – and this time, he’s not walking away with probation.
Link to post since mbin is a little… broken right now.
Yikes, the guy looks like a drug junkie in his photos, I’m guessing he has bigger problems than alcoholism
Huh, this guy was my neighbor when I was a kid. I remember being really excited when we learned he was going to be on TV. Really sad to see where he’s ended up.
Seems like most children who get sucked into the tv/movie industry end up completely insane nightmares later in life, assuming they live long which a lot of them traditionally have not.
Entitled prick.
from the article:
“Court docs show Bryan also admitted to having two prior DUI convictions, putting him in even hotter water. If he ever gets hit with a fourth, the penalties only get harsher.”
There is the problem right there. How many chances do those with DUI charges deserve? It’s just more passes for them to seriously hurt or kill someone.
Honestly, zero. I’ve always said first drunk driving offense should be immediate, permanent revocation of license. First offense. Zero tolerance.
It’s bad enough to deal with regular mistakes and texters. DUI offenses are treated so casually it’s actually a meme.
Maybe after a very strict re-training. And signing something acknowledging EXTREME consequences if they get caught again.
And none of this pleading out stuff, either. Even if they’re just sleeping drunk in the driver seat in a parking lot. No mercy.
Over .15 BAC (more than twice the legal limit) and his third DUI
gets a slap on the wrist until he kills someone, then it’s “welp, it was an accident”.
Sounds like he’s pretty deep into addiction. He might be someone that could benefit from something like a disulfiram implant. Anytime you drink you get physically sick and risk a trip to the ER to get your stomach pumped.
When I was struggling with alcoholism, I hit a low point and ended up having to move back in with my parents. They made me start taking that, “antabuse” stuff. It, uh, didn’t work. I’d continue drinking with it, and the only thing that would happen is I would break out in giant red splotches. Never got sick from it. Didn’t do a damn thing.
What DID help, was living in a safe space with my wife, far away, with access to weed. Living in that supportive helpful environment was the trick that finally lead me to realize “ya know, if ever there was a future where I lost all of this great stuff I have going for me, surely it would be the future where I keep drinking.” For some reason getting high always helps me put things in perspective and process trauma, and dang if it didn’t end up working that day. I went from drinking a bottle of bourbon a day, to nothing. Sober now almost 7 years. I owe it all to my (now ex)wife and my ability to use weed without police fucking me over for it.
Love that story. It’s also a good reminder that there are a lot of different things that can help someone recover, and what worked for one person might not work for someone else.
It’s a ten year felony on the third offense in my state, I met a guy that later got sent to prison for years for it, a painter or something like that in a rural area, very nazi ish law enforcement up there, and that’s lifetime count on the dui’s.
As to the legal limits, .15 is not that high, legal limits used to be more like .12, but the feds refused highway sharing money with states if they didn’t drop it to .08, as they were on their kick to make sure the police could find something to take down anyone that works for a living for one reason or another.
The feds also forced states to up their drinking ages to 21 refusing highway money to states that didn’t up it from 18 or whatever. Louisiana was the last hold out and didn’t do it until around 2001 or so, and their highways were shit because of it.
The feds don’t have the authority to do most of what they do, and they got their foot in the door with money, because of their income taxes they’ve enough money to be able to use that to get the States, which by the constitution have a lot more power that the feds have now ursurped, to surrender it to them.
We are led to support the strong federal government because the south was all states rights to support slavery, and has since used cynical arguments when it served them for states rights, even as they repudiated them as often as not.
But the federal government is a monster that must be put back on it’s leash, as could not be more clear. I digress though, no one thinks people should be driving drunk, I am just making the point, that .12 for generations was the standard, in some states. Different people have different tolerances due to genetic differences, and the limits are geared towards those with low tolerance to alcohol.
The larger problem is why we are completely reliant on vehicles, that we cannot even enjoy more than two drinks on the town and legally go home. There must be better ways, fuck cars.

And the standard before .12 was “no standard” where driving drunk wasn’t even a crime.

Taxi cabs have exist since before the invention of cars. They were horse drawn carriages. Today we even have Uber and Lyft that are easier that hailing a cab.
No the limits were upped in not back before it was a crime at all, but around the year 2000. The same time they tightened a lot fo things up.
Mothers against drunk driving and the like a generation or more prior made it a more serious offense, before that it wasn’t always considered as big of a deal as you are referring to, idk pre 1970s or what.

We’re agreeing with the reality that it wasn’t considered a crime or a big deal in generations past. Where we have a huge gulf of disagreement is if this was a problem or not. I am flabbergasted about the strong defense you’re putting up to be able to drink and drive.
May I ask if you or your family have ever been negatively affected by a drunk driver before?
You seem to be unable to distinguish between quantifying a situation and qualifying it, a common condition. Like if I described how a plurality if not majority of voters support deporting illegals, if not in the dickish way it’s done at the moment, you would take that for supporting deporting illegals. But it’s not a qualification of deporting illegals, it’s a quantification.
The facts are… The lack of logic and reason, from people that went to college at that, is an indictment of our schools that in higher education are more of racketeers than educators.
0.15% is not that high, about 3 beers. Edit: wrong, it’s probably like 5 all at once depending on body weight
I just wanted to read the article to see what he did that got him this sentence.
in Europe people are vehemently against you driving after any amount of alcohol at all. even a half pint of 3% beer.
If you would get in a car and drive after three beers, you’re a piece of shit.

First of all, that was over 20 years ago, 2nd it would give away my location, and third, you can look up any state 3rd dui offense charges, and they are all going to be similar.
Regular strength beer .15 is about 4. One drink, glass of wine, shot, or regular beer; is .04. You take the time you started drinking, then for every hour you have been drinking subtract one drink from the total and multiply times .04. If you had 6 at a bar, and started two hours ago, you would have 4 in your system at .16. Obviously good beer tends to be stronger, about double what is considered normal, like two hearted ipa from bell’s or sierra nevada or something.
I’m not sure you meant to reply to me since I’m not the same person who criticized what you wrote.
I looked at a chart and it says a 100 lb person would have 0.04% BAC after one drink. If you’re 180-200 lbs one drink is 0.02% BAC
.04 is about one drink, for a normal sized person, and it leaves your system at about .04/hour. As I explained, to calculate if you are legal you add your drinks, respective of strength, obvioulsy my 7.6% ale is 2 if regular beer is 1, and subtract a drink for every hour you have been drinking, and then mulitply times .04. Bars should have breathalyzers in them to give you an idea. Charge a quarter a go.
California DMV shows one drink as .03% so about what you’re saying. I was looking at this chart on Forbes and it has to be completely wrong https://www.forbes.com/advisor/legal/dui/blood-alcohol-level-chart/
Oh idk, I had to pay for court ordered substance abuse classes as I got alchohol related charges before I was 21, and one they taught us the alcohol thing to calculate if you are legal to drive, the only useful thing I got out of those parasites.

On what? How do you not already know this, it’s common knowledge, which doesn’t require a source, as I don’t feel like wading through enshitified search results for someone that after a long back and forth would say you are changing the goal posts and not even admit the point, that is asking from a place of disbelief. That clearly is a person that knows everything by feeling, without learning it.
Tell me what part you “need a source on,” and why, and what you know about it that makes you disbelieve this common knowledge, and I will consider wasting my time for you.
The toolman is not going to be happy about this
Fuck him, but tool man needs to get extra fucked. Fuck that stupid asshole piece of shit.
It’s a shame he wasn’t dealing and could turn in his friends to beat jail like the old man.
“Looks like it’s back to jail for me! Auogh auogh auogh!”
lol I heard that as the sad version, remember how Tim would add emotional variation to the sound?
Iirc and bc I’m bored there was a:
Sad version
Disappointed version
Excited version (most used)
Understanding version
Intrigued version
Interested version
Nearly orgasmic version (when a like mind revealed themselves via shred car and tool talk)
And finally…‘Don’t let mom find out’ version
What an idiot. He’ll be right back in there soon enough.
I don’t know my ex step dad got a year in prison after his 3rd DUI, when he got out he couldn’t drive CDL for 10 years (the length of his probation) he stop drinking altogether.
I’m really glad that he stopped drinking. Hopefully it improves his overall health, too.
TBF, anyone that drink drives is a bloody idiot. Fame doesn’t change that
I’m guessing he’s an alcoholic, which is a real shame but also not surprising given that he’s a former child star. Unsurprising but altogether quite sad.
most likely. Also, yeah, there aren’t many child stars who DON’T go off the deep end :/. Really sad
Agreed, for sure. And this is his third DUI. At what point do we say enough, before he ends up killing someone?
What are you using to post links? This is at least the second post of yours I’ve seen that isn’t a link, just a picture.
I’m on mbin. Maybe it’s an mbin bug. I use the web interface. I have no clue what’s going on :/ I have attached a screenshot. Note the (www.tmz.com) link. i think i’ll dump mbin. i dunno why it’s doing this.
You should add the link manually to the post. Because right now this is just an image post and it’s weird.
oh, woops. forgot lol. post edited now :)
that’s really really weird. strange :/
FWIW, the mbin devs know about it. just found this: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/issues/1940
Nice, we’re not crazy 😜
At least he’ll improve his home by being away from it for a year
[drunkenly crashes his car into a home]
“Oh, oh shit, oh guys this open room concept is really elevating this living room into a welcoming space for the entire family”
