Golfing pro, Tiger Woods, has gone on record addressing claims he was drunk driving in Florida this week. On Monday the story broke that Woods was arrested for drunk driving in Jupiter, Florida. However, Woods has since stated he was on pharmaceutical drugs, which led to side effects that gave the appearance he was inebriated on alcohol. Woods stated the pharmaceutical medicines did not mix well, which indicates a contraindication.

As stated on the site this past Monday, Woods has a back problem, which he underwent surgery for, in an attempt to gain some pain relief and better mobility. However, the problem keeps reoccurring. Back patients are often prescribed pain killers for the painful problem.

In America, drugs such as Gabapentin (nerve pain), Percocet or Fentanyl, among others, are given for serious back pain. These medicines can become dangerous when taken with other pharmaceutical drugs. Woods is also a known user of the sleep aid Ambien. Woods should not take powerful Ambien pills with strong pain meds. The results can be disastrous.

People have been known to sleep walk while on Ambien. Some have even gotten into their cars and tried to drive in a semi-awake state while on Ambien. Others have reported having sex in their sleep while on Ambien. It is also a drug that has turned addictive for some.
