Kiefer Loves The Smell of Scotch in the Morning

When Kiefer Sutherland isn’t busy adding to his rap sheet and punching out clothing designers all in the name of Brooke Shields’ honor, do you know what he does with his time?  Really?  You really don’t know?  It should be clear — he’s drinking!  Let’s face facts:  Kiefer has a problem.  Addiction sucks and I hope he gets on the right track before he kills himself or an innocent. 

I love TMZ if only for the fact that they find the most low-down dirt on people, and this piece is no different.  Last week Kief and some fellow 24 crew and cast mates decided to hit a local bar after finishing a location shoot.  And this is one of the many reasons that I envy Californians — their bars are open at 7 a.m. which is about the time that Kief and his posse arrived.  They drank lots of scotch (no food involved) until about one in the afternoon which resulted in a $500 tab.  That’s like, a hundred bucks an hour (or, you know, Lindsay Lohan’s asking price) in booze!

There are a couple of positive elements to this story.  One — Sutherland tipped $200 of which I’m sure the bartender earned every penny and two — the actor utilized a driver.  Yay for that!

  • ” – the actor utilized a driver.” No, he used a driver. Had he sent the driver out to get smokes, then he would be utilizing the driver (being used for something other than the intended purpose).

  • On TMZ, they mention he paid the tab for all 30 people with him. Not counting tip (of course) that is only about $16.75 a person.

  • Good call Anonymous…I wish I was drinking Scotch with Kiefer at 7am, sounds like good times. People have drinks when they get off work…why should the 9 to 5 people have all the fun?

  • i dont have anything to say about this post, but on a personal note, my best friend’s dog is named after this celebrity. when the dog is good we call him kieferboo and when hes bad we call him kietard. the dog is very smart, and my friend’s family keeps a basket of fake fruit on the dining table. one day the said basket happened to have a REAL cucumber in it, and kiefer boo not only jumped on the table and ate the cucumber, but also fell asleep on the table. upside down with his legs in the air.

  • I agree. This is not a good sign for a drinker with a “drinking problem”. Keifer is extremely talented, but has had several alcohol induced incidents. It only gets worse as you get older, buddy boy. You’re too good to loose to the booze.

  • As long as he has someone to drive him around and he’s not a danger to anyone else, more power to him! Hope he got shit-faced and enjoyed every minute of his party.

  • I like a stiff scotch and coke myself. But it has to be genuine Coca-Cola and the scotch must be expensive and come from a single malt- make it a double, please.

    Leave the Keifster alone; he likes a drink, he tips well and he was responsible enough to get someone else to drive at the end of their mammoth drinking session. That guy is a very talented actor and he worked hard on the 24 film set, if he wants to let his hair down afterwards and party like an animal, so be it. He has earned the right and it’s a free country.
