“Gin is an alcoholic beverage which, if your mommy’s strong genes are any indication, you’ll eventually learn to love as it slowly destroys a large portion of your adult life.”

Mike Tyson Is A Sorry Drunk Cocaine User
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) – Mike Tyson was arrested early Friday on suspicion of driving under the influence and possession of cocaine after police stopped him shortly after he left a Scottsdale nightclub.
Sgt. Larry Hall said the boxer was stopped after his car almost struck a sheriff’s vehicle while leaving the club at about 1:45 a.m.
“He showed signs of impairment and voluntarily submitted to field sobriety tests,” said Hall, a member of the Buckeye Police Department who was working in the area as part of a holiday DUI task force.
Hall said Tyson was placed under arrest after “showing more signs of impairment” during the field sobriety tests. Police then found cocaine on him and in his car, Hall said. The boxer was alone in the car.
Tyson was booked at the Maricopa County jail, isolated from other inmates for his own safety, and was set to make an initial court appearance Friday morning, Sheriff Joe Arpaio said.
Tyson, who shot to fame by knocking out Trevor Berbick in 1986 to become the youngest heavyweight champion in history at age 20, has had several run-ins with the law over the years, including serving prison time for rape. His most infamous incident was in the ring in 1997 when he bit Evander Holyfield’s ear during a fight.
Arpaio said the Tyson had been to the Maricopa County jail before, but as a guest talking to juvenile offenders about the dangers of drugs and alcohol.
“The irony is he did a great job with these kids – stay away from drugs, don’t drink, stay out of trouble,” the sheriff said.

Who Has The Best Sister In The World? I Do.
A sister who knows what her brother likes.. Booze. More specifically, potent, portable, usually hidden booze. Also included in the package were a sticker, napkins and matches from one of the coolest old west joints this side of the Mississip.. A virtual survival kit for a Sorry Drunk like myself..
Thanks, Schmoe.. Merry Christmas to you too! Wish we could be together.. I’ll come visit soon.. Promise. Sometimes I miss the old Nevada air.. Been too long since I’ve gotten messed up in Ole Carson poundin Bloody’s at the Golden Nugget at 9am or drinking Moscow Mules at Adele’s (is that the right name?).. Love you too..
Gus Van Sant Is A Sorry Drunk
Well, wouldn’t you know it, a small, albeit independently funded and no doubt controvertial DUI to end our work week with.. Lil Gussie Van Sant from down the street. You know, the guy who brought us Matt & Ben’s Oscar winning film GOOD WILL HUNTING. I know he did a bunch of other, more highbrow and important films than that, but this is a drinking blog and today, he’s the unlucky loser of the Sorry Drunk of the Day Award. Hosted by Sarah Silverman. This Sunday on IFC.
(I really have no idea what I’m talking about.. Seriously, the cold meds have finally destroyed whatever semblance of a mind I had left swimming around in my head.)
