Said cabinet minister goes to a business luncheon or dinner or social gathering. Has a cocktail before the meal and then a couple of glasses of wine with the meal. After dinner, he's standing around shooting the breeze with a few big shots and he is sipping on another cocktail.
After the business/social gathering he gets in his car to drive home. On his way home he accidentally hits a child who darts out into traffic while chasing a soccer ball. Police are called. Breathalizer given. While not legally impaired, he is close to the limit. Story hits the newspaper... scandal ensues. Opposition calls for his resignation. Government is in full retreat and is trying to spin the best light on the story.

..... and to think.... all this could have been avoided if only the cabinet minister had a driver.
