Drunken driver praises alcohol

A drunken driver extolled the virtues of the alcohol he had been drinking when he was stopped by traffic police in the Nanming district of Guiyang at about 9 pm on Jan 7. When officers asked the man, surnamed Wu, what he had been drinking and how much he had drunk, he showed them a half-full bottle of liquor and began to describe its qualities. Wu was fined 1,000 yuan ($145) and had 12 penalty points applied to his driver's license, which was suspended for 6 months.
