Uh, Mel Gibson himself says he's an alkie.
And the report, as given on TMZ, said that he was observed weaving between two lanes of traffic.
That's drunk, and dangerous.
Read Gibson's statement again. He admits he lost control.
I'm almost sure I've heard him say he's an alcoholic and suffered it during his whole adult life. His wife has almost left him because of it I believe.
He was .04 over the line for crying out loud. If he is the Alkie like you say he is, that isn't nothing.
Rational comment. To an 'experienced drinker', .012 is not a big impairment. -- In fact, not that many years ago .010 was the 'impairment level' in CA.

No, that's a biased report from those who observed him, -- and an abject apology from a man trying to save his drivers license. -- Which I doubt he can.

He lost control of his temper sinky, not his car or his 'drinking'. --- Now he's lost control twice, -- once to the cops, and again in allowing his 'publicist' to put out this apology. - I see no reason to apologize for having a few drinks & then driving home. I do it at least once a week when we go out to dinner.
And there are millions like me. Learn to live with it.
