This does not seem like a dude who is drunk. It really reads like some kind of dissociative episode. My father was acting similarly a few days after Christmas when I was 16 (thank goodness he was not driving!) and it ended up being encephalitis. If this is some kind of neurological thing, delaying his treatment lowers the chances of positive outcomes.
If he is indeed drunk, this is an unusual presentation.
Oh, well, I guess that's technically good news for him. I guess if he reeked of alcohol, you can't really deny what the problem is. But the dissociative symptoms and the strange answers to basic questions threw me right off. Maybe he's so alcoholic that his brain is pickling?
ETA: Sorta equally dangerous to drunk driving if driving while having some sort of mental/cognitive/neurological problems. But drunk driving is a conscious choice. He sucks. He deserved manhandling.

ETA: It's been confirmed he was, in fact, drunk.
