His blood alcohol level was 0.24 or so, about 2.5 times the legal limit (these figures may be sketchy, because I heard different figures from different sources). He was also a fast driver, and if you saw his car, you can bet he was going really fast. Apparently, though, he wasn't a big drinker. He was (is) 26, by the way.
