About a week old, but eh... Some news is worth reading again

A 28-year-old man has been charged with drunken driving after crashing his motorized bar stool, Ohio authorities said.
...During an interview after his crash, Wygle told the reporter, "I drank quite a bit after I wrecked." Police say he was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated after he told an officer at the hospital that he had consumed 15 beers.

Wygle told police his motorized bar stool can go up to 38 mph.

My neighbor has one of those. I used to ride it all the time. His was more intense... go kart racing wheels, Sparco steering wheel, blue napa bar stool.

He should have tried talking his way out of it by saying "but officer I can't walk a straight line, I'm paralyzed (by drunkenness)". But noo now its not safe for any of us to drive our bar stools while drunk...
