There's no excuse for it, but being blowing over does not always mean "drunk".

Whenever we have things in society that are egalitarian but at the same time potentially dangerous the rules tend to be of a Lowest-Common demominator variety. IE look at our speeding threads. However that being said it's a dangerous mindset for people to just assume that they fall far above what is considered 'Lowest Common Denominator."
