160. No, but
anyone who drinks and drives and gets caught twice doing so by the police might very well have an alcohol problem. Lots of people have driven when they probably shouldn't have, not nearly so many have been arrested for doing so. How many people who do not have an alcohol problem have been arrested twice for DUI?

Forty years ago - in the 60's - getting bagged for drunk driving was actually fairly difficult to do. The serious crack down on drunk driving didn't start until the 80's. I actually think it is quite remarkable that Cheney got caught twice in that decade. He must have been quite the drunk.

So we have a fellow who has a known history of alcohol abuse, a man who admits to drinking both before and after he shot his friends face off, a man who avoided the police for over 12 hours after he bagged the lawyer, but we should still not be speculating about his sobriety at the time he shot his friend. OK.
