I got out of jury duty before by suggesting I am an alcoholic.
It was the Gordon Piper(A Country Practice) trial for inappropriate behaviour towards a minor.
I showed up to court & told them in person that there was every chance I would show up to the trial drunk.
They told me to go home & gave me a phone number where I could seek help.
I never heard from the court again.
I was so proud of myself that day :)
Hope it helps.
Cheers.
