They should have left him there until, he sobered up.

His blood was tested, he was five times over the legal limit. Blink

If I was him, I'd say once I realized my predicament, I opened the bottle and started guzzling. Of course after an hour it was starting to show its effects, your honor. Smiling

If I were him, this whole thing wouldn't have happened.

But be sure to remove the keys from the ignition first. If your in the car drinking and the keys are in the ignition that open container.

I hope he spends a long time in jail, and he has to pay (not his insurance) for the expense of his "rescue" and any damage done to the roadway rail. Also his friend needs to be held responsible for letting a drunk person leave their house driving. This was something that was so very avoidable.

I doubt he had insurance, the article says he was driving with a suspended license. (previous DUI?)

I'm glad he didn't hurt anyone else and hope he wises up THIS time.

They should have left him there until he sobered up. That might have been a lasting memory.
When people are drunk they don't recall how stupid they were. One form of therapy is to video tape a drunk and show him how stupid he was later, when he's sober.

Perhaps a little jail time is in order.
