    Why do Pro Athletes drink and drive?
    I'm trying to understand the reasoning. These guys make 10 million or more per year and their profession requires they are healthy at all times to play at peak performance. So lets say they decide to go out to party. I'm assuming if they get paid 10 million per year they can afford a bodyguard or a chauffeur at least. But no! Guy decides to drive to the bar alone and starts partying. Apparently he has plenty of drinks and then he decides to leave the bar alone driving? Why not call a cab? Is he afraid his car will get stolen and his insurance premium will rise? Why not take a taxi or limo to the bar? You make 10 million per year you fukkin moron!

            They make too much money and have too much fame, think they are above the law.

            Look at Michael Jackson with those kids. He thought he was untouchable.

              Pro Athletes can afford to hire a chauffeur or rent a limo for the night. There is no excuse! A guy with $50 on him who goes out to drink may not afford a cab to drive home (not that this is an excuse).

                          HAHA, thats excatly what I was gonna say...It's fun

                          But I don't condone it...did it one to many times, and fortunetly never killed anyone. I did learn my lesson the hard way...but it's good. Never want anyone to get hurt or killed when it can be avoided in most cases

                              Most are uneducated morons who just stumbled to a pile of money. You can't ask too much.

                                like u said.if they had enough sense and thought about the consequenes of there actions.they would either limo it or taxi or even a designated driver.but these idiots think they are above the law and said they didnt mean to hurt anyone....and thats where i have a problem with that statement;if your dumb enough to drink and drive and dont think about how many lives u could possibly destroy when your sober.then u didnt care who u hurt cause you too selfish and dont think about anybody elses well being...anybody who drinks and drives=loser

                                  Pavy is right there is no excuse. And the NFL has a program that will have retired police officers drive limos to pick them up and drive them wherever they need to go, free of charge. These limo's have PS3's, flatscreens, liqour, etc.

                                    I don't think it has anything to do with their celebrity status. I think it's just a flaw in human judgement. I don't see much of a difference between a drunk celebrity and a regular drunk guy in a bar. We've all made errors in judgement. Maybe you think that you can drive better than you can. Maybe you don't think you're as drunk as you really are, etc.

                                        Most athletes are very uneducated and that is your number 1 answer

                                        I say most on a 10th grade level of intelligence

                                                They've been told how great they are all their lives and they feel like they are invincible. I bet that is a factor for many of them.
