Former basketball player Lamar Odom suffered a series of strokes after overdosing on a variety of illegal drugs at a Nevada brothel last year. Odom temporarily lost the ability to walk and talk among other things. He was admitted into an intensive in-patient treatment program at a Los Angeles hospital, where he was able to regain motor functions.

Odom was spotted last week having three strong alcoholic drinks at a bar in Los Angeles. Papers by reputable medical organizations indicate stroke survivors should limit their drinking to one drink per day. Alcohol thins the blood and can promote another stroke if consumed to excess. Odom is playing with his life once again. He needs rehab.
