As a professional bar stool driver, certified during an exhaustive training course at Burning Man 2000, I am appalled that this person would drive while drunk.

Remember, the bartender should never be drunk.

Just everyone else.

What's the point of even having a motorized bar stool if you can't drive it drunk?

"Wygle noted that the bar stool could hit nearly 40 miles per hour, but that he was only going 20 when he wiped out." WTF? 40 mph??
