An Oakland County man was arrested in Dearborn for drunk driving after blowing .24 on the Breathalyzer, three times the legal limit. Why did he get so drunk?
Dearborn Press & Guide: His blood-alcohol level at the police station was 0.24 percent, above the state’s 0.17 percent super-drunk standard. The man’s car was impounded.
While he was being booked, he said he drank so much because he was upset that the University of Michigan’s football team lost 29-6 at Michigan State University the day before. He said he also was upset with the play-calling of Offensive Coordinator Al Borges, whose Wolverines rushed for a negative-48 yards, the worst ground performance since the school started playing football in 1879.
Drunk driving is never appropriate, no matter how bad your team's offense may be performing. It's dangerous and irresponsible.
If Michigan football is driving you to drink, please don't operate any machinery heavier than a stadium PA microphone at halftime. Allegedly.
