Tiger will be justifiably penalized for his actions, but I am more sympathetic to a situation where he suffered genuinely unexpected consequences as opposed to a scenario where a reasonable person should be highly aware of what could transpire. If you are taking medication as indicated you don't assume that your judgment will become impaired, whereas if you are out drinking or using recreational drugs it's a certainty to at least some degree.

For what actions could Woods be penalized?  The police report indicates that he blew 0.0 on the breath test.
