It is not a fatal error, but merely an abbreviation of the complete word to start with

A good reference is to use the number 15, which is an average for all persons and alcohol. Every drink consumed adds in 15mgs of alcohol, however there are variables for that such as light,normal high test beers - was it actually one measured ounce of liquor etc..

Agree with Admin and RI.
Pay the amount owing. Fail to do so could result in a collection agency being asigned to collect the funds, which of course then probably flags your credit rating negatively.
Then use proper channels to get reimbursed: LSUC or civil court
