Not just that, but had I been coming off of a binge I'd have probably reeked of booze. A state trooper showed up and talked to me, he would have smelled it. Probably still would have had some amount of alcohol in my blood. OUI/DWI/DUI, whatever it's called, I'd have gotten one.
Not to mention that I wouldn't have been thinking straight and could have reacted badly when the car stalled out, possibly causing someone injury. That'd be tough to live with, I imagine.
I shudder to think.
