Did Coors Have One Too Many?

Former Republican Senate candidate Pete Coors, of the brewing company family, was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving according to the Denver Post:

A Colorado State Patrol trooper pulled Coors over after he saw him run a stop sign around the corner from his home in Golden at 11:25 p.m. on May 28, according to Coors spokeswoman Kabira Hatland and the citations.

Coors' statement:

"I should have planned ahead for a ride," Coors said Thursday in a written statement. "For years, I've advocated the responsible use of our company's products. That's still my message, and our company's message. I am sorry that I didn't follow it myself."

The Coors family uses much of their fortune to fund right wing think tanks such as The Heritage Foundation.
