Being drunk really fucks with peoples judgment (or so I have heard as I have never been drunk as I dont any kind of drink liquor at all.) and causes them to make irrational decisions and do things like driving when they shouldnt be.

This might get locked...I really doubt that John Stamos's troubles rise to the definition of Important news of national interest only.

There is a show biz group that might be a better fit. http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1029

Seems important to me. Would you be saying the same thing if a presidential candidate got a DUI?

And John Stamos is aging eye candy and a middling actor--he is not running for the Presidency.

I am just giving my reasoning, as you are giving yours. Thank you for the advice. I may be new here, but I work in the news industry. News is my job.

There's no opinion there:

I didnt see you going apeshit for people posting about Christopher Lee dying in LBN http://www.democraticunderground.com/10141114934

But more to the point, are you calling a soap/sitcom actor getting picked up drunk as somehow "equivalent" to the end by death of a lengthy career of a highly lauded actor? The latter is kind of a big deal, the former is just another day at the races.

they are borderline LBN.

The death of a respected artist after a long career might fit in that category. His long career can be reviewed, comments can be made about his contributions to the arts, people can express condolences and remember his many superb performances. It's drawing the line under the sum of a person's life, who will not pass this way again.

A minor actor getting picked up for driving drunk, not so much....he's not going anywhere except to court.

He might not have thought he was going to drink. The .08 is something like 3 drinks so perhaps he could have thought he was ok to drive. Not excusing it but when you drink, you become the "savior of the World" and can do anything. He needs to immediately get on top of this and issue a statement about how stupid he was and not let it fester.

Thats bad. When you get so drunk that you are still drunk when you wake up, thats bad. Jogn is an alcoholic and he needs to get his drinking under control. He is a guy who was blessed with good fortune and his life is one long party.
Had a friend who tells this story. They were drinking,[all great storied begin with something like that] and bob insisted that his friend sleep on the couch since they were very drunk. It about 2 am and the friend had to go to work at 6 am. Well the guy went off to work and ran over a kid delivering papers. End of story.

I don't drink anymore. Alcohol is legal, and it doesn't take much to register as driving under the influence. It happens to the best of us. And yes it's stupid stupid stupid. So I hope John will be more responsible in the future or he will be using a driver.

I drink at home or have a designated driver. If I were as rich as Stamos, I'd take a taxi everywhere I planned to drink. I just don't get it.

Well played!

He's got his appetite back! Charlie Sheen steps out for fried chicken and waffles after being hospitalized for 'food poisoning'

By MailOnline Reporter


It seems Charlie Sheen is feeling much better after suffering an alleged severe bout of food poisoning earlier in the week.

The 49-year-old actor was all smiles on Thursday as he headed to Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles in Los Angeles with a pal.

Charlie looked relaxed in a striped T-shirt, jeans and a blue button-up shirt as he flashed a cheeky smile before heading into the eatery.



(If you squint, you can see me sitting at a table behind the glass door. My son laughed with him and talked shirts when Charlie noticed my son's Penguin sweater and told him how he converted his long sleeve Lacoste sweater he was wearing into a short sleeve T-shirt. He appeared reasonable sober in the nonalcoholic restaurant plus he had a driver, a friend, and his handler with him which is good because they arrived in Charlie's midnight black Maybach, a cool car that transitions somewhere between status and class.)

And yet he was animated like a ten-year-old kid. Odd

If so I am glad for him. Maybe one day he will stop trying to destroy himself.

I think he was simply happy to be out of the house and not causing a scene. While he was still inside, I admired his car at length.

maybe he will return to some form of normalcy

Just asking.

I doubt many non-Giants fans will get this, but that bobblehead certainly looks like Stamos!

unless I'm sedated and not driving .
