Democratic Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel apologized after becoming so drunk at a college football game that she had to leave the stadium in a wheelchair.

  “I attended a tailgate on an empty stomach,” Nessel wrote in a Facebook post about her intoxication at the Oct. 30 Michigan-Michigan State football game.

  “Much to my surprise, MSU tailgate’s tend to have more alcohol than food, so I thought it seemed like a good idea to eat 2 Bloody Mary’s, since as long as you put enough vegetables in them, it’s practically a salad. As it turned out, this was not a brilliant idea. Also, I might be a terrible bartender,” she joked.
