Dr. Drew: Tiger Woods Needs Rehab, Not Jail

0:00On March 31, Tiger Woods got busted for DUI on March 27 after his Range Rover smashed into a pickup truck and flipped at high speed. Cops said he blew 0.0 on the breathalyzer, but looked super lethargic at the scene, likely from some kind of meds. Dr. Drew Pinsky, the 67-year-old addiction expert, broke it down on TMZ, calling it straight up denial from chronic pain and addiction. Messing with his head, he says users lose all sense of reality and can't see the damage they're doing. Pinsky's pushing hard for sympathy over punishment, arguing Woods needs pro-help to manage pain and quit everything cold turkey first. He wants rehab or a long wellness day, not jail time, even if a judge steps in, TMZ hosts push back, asking if reckless driving changes the game from pure addiction compassion. Drew admits the difference, but still gives Woods one last shot at getting clean without the hammer dropping. Bottom line, source is close to it, say he's playing Russian roulette with his life and needs real tools to face facts before the next crash hits.
