Poor old lad, he's having a rough time.

[Dan Curtis]

Really? He couldn't possibly have had an accident because he already had a skinful of gin?

It's a sad situation to see where somebody "cannot afford an ambulance". We are very lucky to have a national health service.

 

Poor bloke.

That is possible, the article gives impression though that there was reasonable amount of time between accident and the journey to hospital. If that's where he was going of course, one can never tell from such a limited report. Whole scenario is unfortunate though

How do you cut your hand if not drunk?

3x the legal limit isn't just a few mouthfuls of gin.

Stopped for traffic offence of not stopping at a stop sign.

As learner, had nobody with him so not insured.

Can't say I'm over sympathetic.....

I think he cut it with chainsaw according to article, unfortunately you don't need to be drunk for that to happen. As for the rest of it, there's better way of getting help than jumping in car once you've got hammered.
