Everytime this happens to an athlete/celebrity I wonder, when money is no object, how hard is it to hire a driver for nights you know you will be out drinking? I mean really of all the crimes these people commit, drinking and driving has to be the stupidest, most avoidable one of all.

I'm with you, I just don't understand it at all. I said it in another thread, common sense isn't always common.

I've heard now that they said he PASSED the breath test when he arrived at the police station after his arrest.
