It looks like Tiger Woods had a reaction to whatever prescriptions he was on.

In his statement, he says he understands the gravity of the offense and takes full responsibility for his actions. He went on to state that he expects more of himself than his actions in this matter.
I believe his explanation about experiencing an unexpected reaction to a combination of prescription medications. He was found asleep at the wheel of his car, stationary in an intersection, with its engine running.

It still doesn't excuse driving after taking a drug like that. I didn't drive for a full day after taking even vicodin. Trying to drive on harder drugs like morphine or it's stronger derivatives, is just stupid, especially when you have functionally infinite money.
