How many drinks do you think this guy had?

Last night, after the College Football Playoff game between Oregon and Florida State at the Rose Bowl ended, a man walked out of the stadium and realized that he needed to get allllllllllll the way across town to pick up his car. The problem, though, was that he didn't have a ride. So according to the California Highway Patrol, the man—who (surprise, surprise!) had reportedly been drinking—jumped into a golf cart owned by the Rose Bowl, started it up, and proceeded to drive it on the 210 Freeway in Pasadena, Calif.

As you'd probably imagine, he didn't end up making it to his car. Shortly after he started driving the golf cart, several drivers noticed what he was doing and called the cops. Officers were then able to track the man down a short time later and arrest him. And he got hit with a DUI charge after they realized that it appeared he had been drinking. It was a very poor performance all-around on his part.

"He took the cart and was trying to get to his car on the other side of Pasadena," Sgt. Mike Munoz told the Los Angeles Times. "It's definitely chalked up as one of the new experiences for a lot of people here."

And a lot of people everywhere. Seriously, dude? Next time, just call a cab.
