Dana Nessel, the Democratic attorney general in Michigan, admitted in a statement that she drank too much alcohol on an empty stomach during a tailgate before a college football game last month and required assistance to leave the stadium.
Nessel said she attended the Michigan-Michigan State football game in East Lansing on Oct. 30, and blamed two Bloody Marys on an empty stomach for making her feel ill.
“I laid low for a while, but my friends recommended that I leave so as to prevent me from vomiting on any of my constituents,” she said, posting a photo of herself holding her head while seated in the stands. She said she left early and was assisted as she walked out. Someone used a wheelchair to make sure that she could safely make it back to her car, she said. She said she was driven home by a designated driver.
Democrat Michigan Attorney General admitted on Facebook tonight to getting so drunk at the UM v MSU football game that she needed to be wheeled out of the stadium to vomit.
