Cheney had some alcohol and then went hunting with a gun. Whats the difference?

Was Cheney cited for being drunk ? Sutton was. Was Cheney charged with the shooting as Sutton was with the car wreck ? No, one was an accident, the other wasn't.

The handling of the situation also raised questions about whether Cheney had been drinking at the time of the shooting, about 5:50 p.m. Cheney told Fox he had had a beer at lunch, but the hunt did not begin until "sometime after 3 p.m."
"The five of us who were in that party were together all afternoon. Nobody was drinking, nobody was under the influence," he said.
The Kenedy County Sheriff's Department, which interviewed Cheney about the accident Sunday morning, concluded there was "no alcohol or misconduct involved in the incident." A state game warden gave Cheney a warning for hunting without a required stamp on his license, for which the vice president's office later submitted payment.
Armstrong, a longtime friend of the Cheney family, told CNN before the vice president's interview that she never saw Cheney or Whittington "drink at all on the day of the shooting until after the accident
A hunting accident is likely to always be a bit delayed in the investigation. Auto accidents are immediate. Not to mention a local county sheriff isn't exactly going to demand the Vice President be taken down to the local rat hole Sheriff's office for questioning, you know ?
in comparison to what Cheney did ........
