(From Telegraph.co.uk )
Thomas McGreevy, 58, was caught three and a half times over the legal alcohol limit as he drove the vehicle in Formby, Merseyside at around 7am on Saturday, February 20.
He pleaded guilty to drink driving at North Sefton Magistrate's Court on Monday, claiming he had been drinking alcohol on the morning in question and the night before to alleviate pain from a spinal injury.
An ambulance was called to the scene and McGreevy, who lives in Liverpool Road in Southport, was described as looking in a "confused" state.
The court heard McGreevy had been a milkman for 30 years. Rory McCormack, defending, said: "This is totally out of character. He has been a milkman for 30 years. He had no previous convictions.
First off, I didn't even know 'milkmen' existed anymore. Color me surprised!
Regardless, how many people are really endangered on the roads at the asscrack of dawn while Tom is delivering his goddamn cow juice? Really. How many? Dude has been lugging milk around & making lonely housewives happy for 30 effin years and we couldn't cut him a little slack, North Sefton Magistrate Court? His back hurt and he was trying to do whatever he could to make sure he could make it to work, so he numbed the pain with a little Jesus Juice. Yeah, he had enough J-Juice to put his BAC three and a half times over the limit, but who gives a shit. He strapped it on like a true warrior and got his ass out to his milk truck and hit his route. Now he's lost his job for 2 and a half years. Life just isn't fair sometimes, Tommy.
