So my uh... my friend... got a DUI in 2008. How do you think he should address this.

This isn't that uncommon, do a search of the forums for other similar issues. Basically - you answer yes to the relevant character and fitness question and attach an explanation describing in detail what happened, how you understand it was poor judgement, how you have matured since then, and what steps you have taken to change your behavior.

Or, do a forum search. There are a lot of threads about this.
