A Queenstown chef was so drunk he vomited and defecated before being processed for drink-driving in a residential neighbourhood. Lawyer Liam Collins said “but for alcohol” there was no other explanation as to how “an otherwise mild-mannered, hard-working, conscientious individual commits this offence”. Judge Rea said the photographs gave a “very good indication of the level of your intoxication”. He was fined $725 for drink-driving and handed a six-month ban. The high level triggered a requirement for an alcohol interlock device to be installed but he had since sold his vehicle.
