It's not often I agree with Stor Mand (no offense, dude! I really like debating things with you, but we never seem to agree), however he's right on this one. If you want to use the roads you have to accept the laws that govern all vehicles using that road. This could all have been avoided had the guy simply either walked home or called a cab. He took the odds to riding drunk, he should have to face up to the consequences.
