Answer:

The driver has no defense for drunk driving. Since the driver was also inebriated, the best option he could have taken was to phone an ambulance to come pick up his friend and take him to the hospital, or to have a sober friend drive his injured friend to the hospital. By diving while inebriated, he demonstrated his carelessness and put his life and that of his friend at jeopardy. He might have  caused an accident. Among other things, he might be prosecuted with public intoxication.
