The cynical truth of it is that doing anything dangerous isn't "cool" unless every now and then someone had to get hurt/killed/ruin his life in the process.  I guess I see it more as there is no excuse to drive drunk and there is no excuse to drive in a manner which puts innocent lives at risk.  Ruggs did both in one fell swoop. 

I many ways, too many to mention I have more empathy for the drunk who does it than I do for someone sober who does it. At least the drunk has some kind of reasoning, they're impaired and so is their judgement. When they're sober there is no excuse other than just pure assholiness at best.. I won't defend his actions in any way, but I used to drink and drive quite a bit when i was young so I do understand a bit how the brain works or doesn't under the influence of alcohol which is why i made the conscious decision to quit consuming alcohol entirely. I know how unpredictable I am when drunk.
