Default How do you play against a drunk who plays blind?

This happened to me on my last trip to Borgata on the 1/2 NL table. Some really drunk and still drinking guy sat down and was betting hard pre-flop without looking at his cards. At first I thought it was a yum-yum situation, and the whole it was, as that guy was going to make the whole table $200 richer in the long run, but in the short run me and the rest of the table tightened up significantly, and seemed to be at a loss as to how to play against him.

I changed my seat and sat to his left and figured that I should wait for good cards to bet for value (including the trap hands like KQ or AJ that I would usually fold), but that didn't seem to work either, and before long he was broke and thankfully left the table. In the future, if I'm unfortunate enough to encounter such situation again, what is the correct way to play against such clearly unpredictable and dangerous player?

EDIT: I forgot to mention that at some point during the hand he would take a look at his two hole cards, which increased the apprehension of the sober ones. While he would bet wildly pre-flop in the dark, he wouldn't bet on the later streets without a hand (or what he thinks is a hand, he once misread a straight, but there are some Omaha bracelet winners who've done that as well).
