Drunk.
While I was going to graduate school, I worked at a Wilderness Outfitters in West Los Angeles.
One day, not long after Julia Roberts dumped him, Keifer Sutherland rolled up to the store on his Harley.
To say that he was drunk, is a gross understatement. He was totaled, reeking, completely smashed.
I’ve never seen someone so drunk and I grew up in a household of alcoholics!
He could barely stand, let alone walk. He stumbled through the store with the manager at his side to make sure he didn’t knock things over.
His eyes were almost completely closed. One eye was blackened and he had a scrape on his cheek. His face was slack.
He could barely form words.
We debated whether to keep him in the store or call the police. When he got wind of the conversation, he became belligerent, nasty and crude.
I mean, it was a Wilderness Outfitters. Our store manager was six feet four inches and about three hundred pounds. I’m five feet ten inches and everyone else was either big or a bad ass. You think people who climb Mc Kinley are going to be put off by a little punk ass actor?
We threw him out of the store and called the cops.
That was almost fifteen years ago.
If you missed it, he received a DUI last night. He was caught on video at YouTube a year or so ago stumbling in a bar in Los Angeles.
What is it going to take to get this man off the juice?

Maybe nothing - maybe dying. It’s sad.
So many of them seem rather empty and hollow. What will it take to get any of them off the juice?
This doesn’t surprise me a bit. I hadn’t heard about his DUI… but I’m not surprised.
And they all seem to get away with it, too.
Peace,

Wow. Another sad tale.
Hitting rock bottom. Absolute rock bottom with no one to turn to, no enablers left.
Rileyberry - I hope he doesn’t take someone else with him.
Chani - It’s actually his forth DUI (at least). They loose because they get away with it. So sad.
Mr. Fab - I think it’s very, very sad.
East Coast Dweller - I guess. But when you’re wealthy, come from a wealthy family, where is the bottom??
You’d hope the old guys would learn by now. You kinda expect it from the Lohans and Brittney’s who are young and impressionable, but an old dude like him. Poor little rich boy.
But he was so awesome in The Lost Boys!!!
Meems - He was one of those young and impressionable kids. Sadly, kids grow up and never change.
Christy - He probably wasn’t drunk.
I saw the latest arrest headline online yesterday, shrugged and read something else. I have noticed that alcoholics use any setback as an excuse to tie one on.
The idea of anyone riding a Harley in that condition is horrifying, but this back story adds layers to the present one. Sad.
Money may not buy happiness, but it sure buys a lot of booze.
i think you should have suspended him from the ceiling with climbing rope and beat his ass with kayak paddles, maybe he would have gone straight after that
Heart in SF - Sadly, that’s what most money is spent on.
FuriousBall - You have the best, the very best ideas!
