That's his story and he's sticking to it.
I've been on the computer sooooo looooong today and had the tv on at the same time, so I'm not sure if I read or heard that one of the police officers said he smelled like alcohol.
Did you hear (or read) anything like that?
Uh-oh. If the Ambienesia - Phenershenanigan story doesn't work, there's always this one:

Patrick Kennedy Injured By Flying Hammer
(CBS4) PAWTUCKET, RI Rhode Island Congressman Patrick Kennedy needed stitches after getting hit with a hammer head during an ecomomic development meeting in Pawtucket.
Kennedy was in a meeting with a Wisconsin entrepreneur, Matt Kriesel, on Wednesday. Kriesel produces Impact Gel, a shock-absorbing material used sports-shoe inserts, tennis rackets and horse saddles.
Kriesel was hitting some gel with a hammer to demonstrate its ability to reduce vibration when the hammer's head flew off and hit Kennedy in the mouth.
"The congressman is a class act, he didn't make a fuss," said Michael McMahon, the executive director of the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation. He attended the demonstration.
Kennedy's staff took him to Memorial Hospital in Pawtucket, where he received six stitches in his bottom lip.

>>>Two days after that, he had the April 15th car wreck at the drug store. Two and a half weeks after that, this "mishap" befalls him. Yup, it's gotta be "(Tom) Delayed Hammer Head Syndrome."
"I read or heard that one of the police officers said he smelled like alcohol..."
I heard that, too. Steve Doocy on Fox & Friends said it this morning.
