Even here at ’SC, Rey had the reputation for being a big party guy. Apparently, it was pretty common to see him roaming around 28th street getting completely hammered. A quote from a USC fraternity president:

Rey would always come out to the Row on weekends and get totally blacked out. It was definitely his thing.

Over-drinking is just what he does. Absolutely pathetic, but not terribly surprising to see this.

Do we really have to dwell on this? He’s gone now.

This is common behavior of society at large. Hopefully, he will learn his lesson, likely with the help of counseling provided by the NFL. Actually, it’s a good thing that he got caught early before he hurt someone. From now on, Rey, take a private car. You can afford it.

Both of his run-ins with the authorities at SC were when he was drinking – and by all accounts he got it under control enough that he wasn’t being aggressive with it, sober or not.

But for his own sake, and the sake of anyone on the roads, I hope he gets himself sorted out. And aside from the public safety standpoint, he’s been making a good name for himself in the community of fans in and around Cincinnati. He should be careful about pissing that away.

…passed out on the table in front of me. This isn’t surprising at all. :(

I hope he fixes it because he may not be so lucky next time. That would be tragic.

Cessation of drunk driving has a quicker fix: get a freakin driver. With you on the take no prisoners.
