2Whether he'd been drinking earlier or not, it's a little strange for anyone to threaten to pull down his pants because someone's leaving.
poor guy.......he's had a rough life battling depression. For some reason, I want to give him a pass. Although I don't condone drinking and driving. Next time Rick -- bring a D-D with you.
