There
are many levels of drunk. There is
slightly buzzed. Then a little tipsy. Then
slurring. Then everyone is your friend.
Then everyone is your enemy. Then
there is sloppy drunk and surly drunk.

| Taco Drunk, hungry |
Then,
apparently in Florida, there is a new level of drunk which can be called “Taco
Drunk” or more specifically, “Using a taco as ID drunk.” Matthew Falkner reached this new level of
drunk after he passed out in the drive-thru of a Taco Bell and his car caught
fire. This new level of drunk is apparently
paired with hunger and his destination seems like a perfectly logical choice.
According
to the Miami New Times: The
incident occurred in the early morning of October 1 in Jensen Beach, according
to the blog Off the Beat. Falkner, 30, had apparently decided to make a run
for a fourth meal after downing some beers, and he somehow made it all the way
to the fast-food joint in his Chevy pickup, placed his order, and received his
taco before falling asleep.
The Taco Bell manager called police because Falkner
passed out in the drive-thru line and was holding up the line. He was also
holding his foot on the accelerator, though in his drunken stupor, he’d put his
truck in park. So, instead of running into a building or someone, his engine
caught fire.
A deputy awoke Falkner and then asked for
his ID. Falkner said no before reaching into his bag and presenting the officer
with a taco. Another deputy clarified they were asking for an ID, not a taco.
Falkner chuckled and began eating the taco.
Falkner’s
blood alcohol content was about .225, which is pretty impressive, and will now
be known as “taco drunk.”
