Beer baron Coors loses license for DUI

DENVER - Beer baron Peter Coors' driver's license has been revoked by a hearing officer who ruled the executive had been driving under the influence of alcohol, officials said.

Hearing officer Scott Garber ruled Friday that Coors did not stop at a stop sign on May 28 and was driving intoxicated.

Coors, 59, said he had consumed a beer about 30 minutes before leaving a wedding, the Rocky Mountain News reported Saturday. He faces a July 20 arraignment and has 30 days to appeal the revocation.

"I made a mistake. I should have planned ahead for a ride," Coors said in a statement. "For years, I've advocated the responsible use of our company's products.

1. Bet it wasn't even Coors beer. Who would buy that trash?

8. Nurses know to double the stated intake of alcohol

that any patient makes. If they can smell alcohol on the patient, they can quadruple it.

Any cop will tell you that every drunk they've ever encountered has had no more than two beers, honest to gawd.

12. You are totally correct

99% of the DUI's I made only drank "two beers". Even with blood alcohol contents of .20 or more.

2. There is no denying...

The karmic flavor to this. ;-)

3. Funny how it's always just one drink that seems to do 'em in.

4. I bet it was more than one!

I can't remember this guy, so I don't recall how big he is, but it's highly unlikely that he would have blown over the limit after only ONE beer!

Once again I have to ask...Don't these folks with a high profile and lots of money ever THINK? I can't afford a driver, or to take taxi's everywhere, so I usually drink at home only! If I do go out to a party, I'm never the return driver. These folks sure could afford either a driver or a taxi, but apparently ust don't think they'll ever get caught!

DUMB A**!!!!

5. Isn't he the guy in the ads? /nt

6. It's always the first drink that gets them in trouble.

7. "For years, I've advocated the responsible use of our company's products."

Like that is gonna help his case. :eyes:

9. Well, he's not a BIG man, but he's pretty tall. It would take more than

ONE beer to put him over the limit.

10. Didn't he run for the Colorado Senate seat in 04?

:shrug:

[colorado thinker]

11. Yes, indeed he did

As the republican - they thought he was the only who could beat Salazar, by name recognition alone. Pete Coors is not the brightest bulb in the Coors family either, which the voters figured out thank God

14. What will we tell Pat and Jerry?
