In his defence he's a Kiwi
they don't have many people in their country so if you drive home drunk, since you're in the car, there isn't likely to be anyone else within a 50 mile radius so the only thing likely to die is a wandering sheep.

Yeah...
It certainly wasn't my finest hour and remains to this day something I look back on and regret. It does serve as a reminder - nearly 10 years later and I've had a few, I consider how to get home and always remember that night and how fucking daft it was.

Coming to this late
and didn't read the original. And yes, pisstake as per off-topic.

But that is the attitude in some places, like one lovely Scottish island of my acquaintance. There is one pub (not really a pub, it's a bar at a hotel). Some of the houses are 10 miles away. So people occasionally get shitfaced and drive. If they have an accident, it involves ending up in a ditch and writing their car off.

The population of the island is 110, of which probably 50 live in the village where the hotel is anyway. Your chances of hitting anyone at 11pm are infinitesimally small, especially given that the islanders know that anyone driving at that time is quite likely to be drunk and will walk out of the way. The (part time) policeman gives people a telling off when they trash their cars. That's it.
