USA Holiday
About 4 years ago I was a seasoned business traveller and have friends all over the world. I used to travel to New York every couple of months for work/pleasure and never had any problems or got into any trouble. About 4 years ago I was convicted of drink driving and banned from driving for 1 year commuted to 9 months, it cost me my job (among other things) and I have not been outside of the UK since. I really miss my friends, especially the ones in New York and Australia and Canada, they keep asking when am I coming to visit again but I just make excuses. They come here but it's not the same,do you think I have any chance of getting into New York etc. just for a 2 week holiday? Someone told me that if you travel to the US and are refused entry they stamp your passport and and put you on the next plane back home ?

In practice they would probably never know, but when they get antsy they can over-react - ask Cat Stevens.
I don't think it will prevent you from going at all - at worst it will prob just cause a bit of hassle before your trip.
