This was the mid 70's. You could very often, if you were polite and respectful to the police, have a friend come and drive you home, with a stern warning only. There really was no zero tolerance policies until the MADD Mothers got into Reagan's ear in the early 80's. The humor of the time reflected the lack of consequences associated with drunk driving.
