[quote]And alcohol isn't cocaine. Apples and Oranges[/quote]


by golly youre right!

Deaths per user:
Alcohol = 100,000/140,000,000 = .07 % or 70 per 100,000
Cocaine = 1,000/ 12,200,000 = .008 % or 8 per 100,000

Deaths per abuser:
Alcohol = 100,000/18,000,000 = .56 % or 56 per 10,000
Cocaine = 1,000/ 250,000 = .40 % or 40 per 10,000


[i]So even considering abusers, with advantage to alcohol (probably
should be over 1%),[b] cocaine is still healthier.[/b][/i]

Outstanding conclusion. Cocaine is healthier than alcohol. Guiness moment..."Brilliant!"

Do you think Dustin was high on coke when he played from that bunker at the 2010 PGA Championship

Maybe it's performance enhancing...?

I kid.

When Dustin Johnson announced last week he would be seeking "professional help for personal challenges I have faced," one interpretation was he was entering some type of treatment center.

As of Wednesday, Johnson is still just playing golf.

According to sources, the 30-year-old Johnson has been spending the past few weeks with fiancee Paulina Gretzky at the high-end Gozzer Ranch Golf and Lake Club near Couer d'Alene, Idaho, where Paulina's father, hockey legend Wayne, had his first Gretzky Hockey School. The well-circulated photo of Johnson caddying for Paulina was during the club's Ladies Member-Guest. Johnson has been playing every day as well, shooting a 61 on the Tom Fazio-design that sources say was close to being a 59.

In a statement released through his management company last Thursday, Johnson said, "By committing the time and resources necessary to improve my mental health, physical well-being and emotional foundation, I am confident that I will be better equipped to fulfill my potential and become a consistent champion."

The announcement was followed by reports that his absence was not voluntary and instead the result of a suspension, which the PGA Tour later refuted.

Johnson's agent David Winkle had no comment on Johnson's whereabouts, but did say he's in touch with Johnson every day, and that "he’s in good spirits, and appreciates the support."

What happens if he is 30th in fedex points? Sitting there right now? If he doesn't play would someone else get in?
