How Mr. Daly chooses to imbibe is none of our business. Many great figures in the past would be considered bibulous sots by the standards some here are espousing.

So he likes to have a few, big deal. He was impaired at a Hooters restaurant: Wow, he's the first man ever to do such a thing.

Good grief, you're not his wife or mother. As a member of the PGA he may have been outside their accepted norms for behaviour, but that is a contractual matter, again, none of our business.

Then again, there is an organization some here might be interested in: the WCTU. Carrie Nation's minions still do exist, perhaps they need more members.

A good friend of mine once quoted to me:

The purpose of life is NOT to arrive at the Pearly Gates with a well-preserved, pure and pristine body. The idea is to come screeching up sideways, smoke in one hand, glass in the other, tired yet grateful, shouting PHEW! WHAT A RIDE!

How we get there is between each of us individually and our Lord. This kind of tut-tutting is more suited to leftist nanny-statists and micro-managing control freaks. It certainly does NOT belong on a conservative board, at least in my NSHO.

Sheesh, take a breath. I'm not tut-tutting anything, but I would like to see a talent like Daly get his drinking under control so he doesn't kill himself. Daly himself admits that he goes much further than having 'a few', as you say. His life is a train wreck, not a fair ride, and as long as he remains a public figure, folks are going to have an opinion. Get over it.
