Kenny Britt and professional athletes

So what's the big deal about Kenny Britt? He joins thousands of other idiots in proving that alcohol will make you stupid. Drinking impairs judgment. Judgment is necessary to make responsible decisions. People must have a plan for getting home if they are going out to consume alcohol. What makes the Britt story different is simply that he is a millionaire and did not spend the cash to call a cab. It isn't like he did not have money to pay for transportation.
He should not be judged differently, because of his profession. There are a lot more professional athletes who make good decisions and protect themselves and the public. This guy did something dumb and dangerous and should be convicted if guilty in the same way as  thousands of others who commit this thoughtless, selfish crime.
