I do not mean to sound harsh but I think he was incredibly lucky not to get more for being so stupid as to speed at 40MPH over the limit whilst drunk.
I’ve read reports that John Graziano will need medical care for the rest of his life, in Britain similar incidents have ended with the driver being charged with attempted murder!
