Certainly an ill man. There are lessons to be had by all. First don't drink and fly, that seems simple? Second if you know a pilot who is drinking and flying it is better to have a word whilst he is still alive than it is to wish you had after the accident. If you read Robb Metcalffe's article in Flight Safety it says much the same.
I hope we shall all take a lesson from this, we don't have the time to make all the mistakes ourselves.
