It's neither big nor clever.
First off, I would like to say that I in no way condone drink driving. I would happily use people convicted of it as live crash test dummies. Where the seriousness of the offence is inversly proportional to the safety of the car used. Oh you have been bad... sorry its a 2CV "Dolly" at 70mph into this concrete wall for you sir!

However, as a friend of mine recently found out in Cyprus, the police there are a little less concerned. The conversation went as follows:

Police Officer: Sir, I have stopped you tonight as I think you may have had too many Mythos this evening.
Drunken Friend: Thank Feck for that! I thought there was something wrong with the car!
Police Officer: Can I have your address?
Drunken Friend: Sure, its xxxxxx
Police Office: OK please follow me and I will make sure you get home safe

It can be the same here
I was with a mate when he got pulled over after an all day and night session. He was so pissed he couldn’t stand unaided and was slumped against the side of the police car. When he was asked for his driving license he dropped his wallet and ended up sprawled on the ground when he bent down to pick it up.

So we were guessing he’d be in trouble. But no, after giving him a bit of a bollocking, they asked if anyone in the car was in a better condition to drive (no) then told him to try and get home without getting pulled over again.

Bastards didn’t even offer to see us home.

Still, bit odd though that they didn’t do him!?

Probably near the end of their shift
They'd hit all their targets for the month and didn't want the paperwork.
