What irony…the CEO of Coors was arrested last month and charged with DUI.  Yes…this is the same guy that tell you to drink responsibility when are are watching that baseball or football game. 

Drunk driving is never a laughing matter but I always love hearing about the excuses from the excused, especially those of celebrities or other notable citizen status.  According to Pete Coors…"he had consumed a beer about 30 minutes before leaving a wedding".  I’m not sure if I am buying the plea that the same guy who has a brewer of the same name gets drunk off of one beer.

    People talk about the freedom of the open road- one of the things I love about living in the city is the freedom from *needing* a car to get anywhere.

    On a side note, in the news story that I read, on the first test he blew .077 or something. Last I checked, that’s not legally intoxicated in many (most?) states, including Massachusetts.

    Still, you’d think someone whose name is always prefaced by the term “Beer Baron” in the press would be especially sensitive to the PR ramifications of something like this…
