when I first read this I thought the guy just drove home to cover up the accident and the fact that he was drunk, wanting to let the alcohol get out of his bloodstream.
then I went back and read it again, realizing he was so drunk that he had no idea his buddy was dead when he left the truck - this is very disturbing- not just the accident, but that someone could get so drunk that they don't realize there is a headless body sitting next to them. yuck.
No kidding. It's unbelieveable that someone that drunk can even manage to get home. I'm very curious what his blood alcohol level was. It had to be way way way up there, probably .3 something.
If you're so drunk that you don't notice your friend has lost his head, you're so drunk that you can't see, can't hear, and can't comprehend anything. That's one breath away from acute alcohol poisoning.
He was so drunk he didn't think to turn his head and ask his buddy to come in, he just hopped out of the truck and went to bed covered in a bloody mess. That's stinking flat out nearly-dead drunk.
