Must be a Republican - Not drunk driving only drank at stop lights

Hell, makes sense to me - give him a seat on the Supreme Court

A Florida man had an explanation ready when investigators accused him of drinking while driving. He explained that he was downing gulps of bourbon only when stopped at traffic signals and stop signs, TCPalm reported

Despite his explanation, Earle Gustavas Stevens Jr., 69, was arrested on a DUI charge following the June 27 incident in Vero Beach, according to an arrest report filed by the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office.

According the arrest report, Stevens took pain medication at noon and started “actively drinking” at 2 p.m. He drove his Mercury Grand Marquis approximately 30 miles from Port St. Lucie to Vero Beach and at 5:28 p.m. was in a McDonald’s drive-thru, bumping the car in front of him, The Palm Beach Post reported.

It is an unspoken rule that every article involving some Florida mouth-breather doing something Florida-man-ish must start that way. It kills me every time.

Mixing pills and booze, then driving 30 miles to a McDonald's and getting a DUI because you rear-ended someone in the drive-thru? I would bet my life it was a benzo, specifically Xanax. Retrograde amnesia is a helluva drug!
