No, way should this man have been released. He should have been held at least for the night to detox!!...

I disagree with holding the friend accountable.....Just my opinion....

If the friend knowingly let a drunk driver behind the wheel, that's one thing. But to hold a third party responsible for the actions of another is to distance ourselves even more from the notion we should all be held accountable for our OWN behavior. As a society, we've reached the point where we're ready to blame any one but the guilty party for his behavior.

When my brother was busted for DUI in 1980, the police had him sleep it off in jail. I just thought that was SOP.
