There are plenty of days between 1/21/09 and 12/7/09 where I have had a glass of wine (or 3) and not been on Ambien. In the past I have had a prescription for Vicodin due to an injury. Does anyone remember that Tiger has had recent injuries/surgery? Is there any proof that he in fact mixed a cocktail of one, two or three of these substances? Does anyone remember that he just returned from Asia - and may have been so jet lagged that hes judgment was impaired without any substance at all?
Why are we so quick to jump to conclusions? The actual facts in this case are very slim indeed. Let's do unto Tiger as we would have others do unto us ... We live in paradise. We have much to be thankful for - including, in my case, a loving and faithful spouse. Why are we so quick to judge and condemn others? It isn't our job...

The first person (his neighbor) to get to the crash scene said he was "snoring". The accident occurred at 230 am in (what I believe) is the second largest SUV (behind Hummer) on the road. His speed was so slow the air bags did not deploy. Looking at the pictures of the vehicle, one should have simply walked away.... certainly NOT been "unconscious". Most importantly, he was so "impaired" he barely made it 50 yards out of his driveway before he was off the road and into a hydrant/tree. I'm open to other explanations but I believe prescription drugs (used legally) played a role in his impaired driving and impaired level of consciousness after the accident. i suggest you read the package insert for Ambien.... it specifically warns of this. This is simply a statement of opinion as to what may have caused the accident... no condemnation or passage of judgement implied.
