He is a dumbass if he refuses to acknowledge the problem and get treatment.
Cabrera, 27, was spotted by a deputy in a car that's engine was smoking alongside a road in Fort Pierce. Inside the vehicle, Cabrera smelled of alcohol, had slurred speech and took a swig from a bottle of scotch in front of a deputy, according to St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office said. He refused to cooperate and more deputies were called to the scene.
He was wandering into the road with his hands up before he was handcuffed, the report said. He kept saying, "Do you know who I am, you don't know anything about my problems," and cursed at deputies who tried to get him into a patrol car.
In 2009, the All-Star first baseman got into a fight with his wife after a night of drinking, right before his team surrendered the American League Central Division title to the Twins.
Police said Cabrera had a 0.26 blood-alcohol reading -- three times above Michigan's legal limit for driving -- and Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski had to pick up Cabrera at the station. No charges were filed.
During spring training last year, Cabrera said he was done drinking alcohol after he spent much of the offseason in counseling.
"You guys write in the paper 'alcoholic,' that's not right," he said last March before a spring training workout. "I don't know how to explain, but it's not an alcohol problem.""Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Any grown man who is behind the wheel with a .26 has an alcohol problem.
Taking a swig in front of the officer is the interesting thing. I have known lawyers who told their clients that if they got stopped for DWI to get out and, in front of the officer, down as much alcohol as they could before the officer could get to them. The "theory", if you want to call it that, is that it would then become impossible to tell whether the BAC was from what the driver had before the stop or after the stop.
Bad advice in my opinion, and also a breach of legal ethics.

But damn, this guy's gonna drive me to drinkin'.After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

All that money, he could have a driver/handler/security full time driving him around so he can get his freak on. The whole downing scotch in front of the officer who pulled you over, thats a curious move.
I would not be eager to tie up a huge portion of my budget on Charlie Sheen, err Miggy.

No charges filed? How is that possible?If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.
