Given that conditions are garbage throughout much of the country, I wouldn't be surprised if people were imbibing on the chair. Can't say I've never done it.
Incidentally I had to swallow my pride and take a toboggan ride down after hitting a tree in Stow VT. I was out of bounds so I dragged myself onto a trail (that took a while) but it was so icy that I couldn't slip down the trail so my buddy called the Patrol. I was surprised, they sent one patroller and the sled onto a steep, icy bump run. But this guy was a total pro, got a quick assessment done, helped roll me into the sled and got me down with no assistance. When I couldn't get out of the sled he called the local ambulance from a dedicated line, got me onto a board with one other patroller and 10 minutes later the rig was there. I can't say it enough, I was impressed. I just wished they had a medic on that day so I coulda got some pain meds before transport, but those that hit trees shouldn't be asking for much.
