Pete Coors, the chairman of the Coors Brewing Company and a former 
Republican candidate for the Senate, was arrested and charged with drunken 
driving in Golden, Colo., The Denver Post reported on Thursday.

Mr. Coors, who has appeared in anti-drunken-driving messages for the 
company, is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday.

"I made a mistake," he said in a written statement. "I should have planned 
ahead for a ride."

The company's Web site features a "Drunk Driving Prevention" page, which 
carries the reminder, "Coors wants drunk drivers off the road."
