Of course alcohol makes you sleepy.

As anyone who’s had a few drinks, passed out, woken up, and wondered “wtf happened?” can attest to.

Which is why you don’t drink and then decide to drive.

Already driving while sleepy is dangerous, and driving while drunk is dangerous, making driving while sleepy downright reckless.

James Couillard didn’t get the memo.

He was found asleep with his foot on the brake at an intersection, and we can at least be thankful that his foot was on the brake and not on the gas.

His claim was that he was “drinking ‘a lot’ of alcohol throughout the afternoon”.

I’m sure the police were not at all surprised…or amused.
