That sounds eminently plausible.
The driver in question tested for having had between five and eight DOUBLE shots of Ricard (whatever that is) on the night in question, or so the BBC tells me. Even if it was less, he was still meant to be well over the drink drive limit, and unless he nailed them all in one go and then sprinted to the car, it would definitely have caused some degree of impairment.
