When you hear the words "Hooters," "John Daly" and "extremely intoxicated" in the same sentence, you know where this story is going.

In the latest chapter of Daly's longtime struggle with alcohol abuse, Daly was held overnight in a North Carolina jail after passing out at a Hooters restaurant, according to Winston-Salem police.

Police officers were called to the Hooters at 120 Hanes Square Circle in Winston-Salem at 2:17 a.m. When police arrived, Daly, who had passed out at the restaurant, was already being treated by emergency medical workers, according to police reports. Emergency workers said Daly refused to go to a hospital.

According to police, Daly "appeared extremely intoxicated and uncooperative." Daly again refused to go to the hospital and was eventually asked to leave by Hooters employees, police said.

Because the clearly drunk Daly had no transportation home, police said they held Daly in custody at a local jail until he sobered up, and then he was escorted home. Daly was photographed by police, but does not appear to have been charged with any crime.

After his bizarre appearance at the British Open, where he accused his former coach Butch Harmon of lying about Daly's alchohol abuse and then struggled to break 90, and his shirtless round in Missouri which was a YouTube hit, this latest episode is more proof that Daly, who still has a tremendous fan following, is now far more famous as a sad sideshow than the long-hitting Babe Ruth of golf who came from nowhere to win the 1991 PGA Championship.

Great golfer. Too bad he won't live much longer.

Damn John, there's a better way to live.

That's sad. He must be incredibly unhappy.

I would just like to believe that if I EVER had that much talent, that you could find better things to do than have more than 2 drinks a day (and those are doctor recommended).

And if I couldn't, I'd definitely have a chauffeur,...

This boy has a problem,..it's called "fame."

See, I don't think fame is his problem. I've seen people who have no super talent, no riches, and no fame throw everything down the drain for booze.

Addiction is Daly's problem. And just like a family friend of mine that drank herself to death at age 29, John may never get cured before it's too late.

I don't even think John wants to stop. He likes being that "chubby golfer with a drink in one hand, a smoke in the other and a babe waiting in his trailer."

this is news? i thought this was a typical weekend for John Daly.

This thread needs pictures.

Addiction is a pretty ugly thing though, I have a friend who just committed himself to rehab due to a two year opiate addiction that really got away from him. Hopefully he'll come out with a new found sense of responsibility and self-respect. Guy just needed some self-control, sadly not everyone knows when to walk away from the booze, drugs, food, sex, etc.

The day I can't keep my eyes open to check out the hooters girls, is the day I stop drinking. I hope John gets the help he needs.

What a boob.

Seriously, I think he still considers himself to be some young college age guy out partying - it's just all fun and games. But I hope he soon realizes he needs help. If for nothing else so he can be there for his kids.

Does anyone watch "Intervention" on A & E? In an episode I watched this week, this girl was addicted to inhaling the computer cleaning aerosol bottles. It was crazy!

I really wish I could help that kid.

A great story in many ways...a public golfer...average Joe who makes it big, fan favorite.....but clearly a guy who can't manage is own affairs.

He needs some help and someone he can trust.

He needs help. Badly.

But that isn't my point on this post. It's funny what people really look like. Not real pro athletes or models or anything like that but pretty average joes.

Watching John Daly....playing with his shirt off and no shoes....I don't know why but it half cracks me up and half .... this guy is so talented as a fat ass get your ass in gear pisses me off.... that I don't know what to think!

Exhibit A:

Oh gooodness....Someone did that once, and it makes your voice super low, and me being an idiot, thought, oh that cant be any different than helium, went around with it all evening, and wee-ow.

Thats not very smart. I was a mess. To be addicted to doing that is not good at all. It feels super funny, but when you come off it...its horrible.
