Jersey Shore’s Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi opened up to reporters yesterday about her arrest last week for being publically intoxicated on the beach.
"I didn't hurt anybody and I just went out to have a good time on the beach. Stuff like this happens in Jersey. I was in the drunk tank for a little bit. I had too many tequilas. What are you going to do?,” Snooki gushed in L.A at a Jersey Shore press conference.
The 22-year-old admits that she has to start drinking more responsibly.

Snooki set a few goals for herself to calm down when it comes to partying.
