Yankees star Joba Chamberlain downed vodka-and-sodas and caroused at a Nebraska strip club in the hours before he was busted for drunken driving, the Daily News has learned.
The 23-year-old pitcher went drinking at a bar in downtown Lincoln and then capped off his Friday night at a local jiggle joint, where he got into a tiff with another customer over the rival Red Sox, witnesses said.
Chamberlain - who had a blood-alcohol level more than 1-1/2 times Nebraska’s legal limit when he was nabbed - was heckled as he and friends watched the dancers at the Night Before Lounge, witnesses said.
“Some guy yelled out, ‘If you played for the Red Sox, you wouldn’t be sitting here,’†clubgoer Gary (Bo) Bohaty said.
Boston was knocked out of the playoffs Sunday night.
“That got a rise out of him,†said Bohaty, owner of the Beacon Lounge, a bar next to the strip club. â€
Oh, he left a big tip? Okay, all is forgiven 
Actually, I am happy he tips very well, even if it was in a skank bar. At least it shows me he knows where he came from. Of course, doesn't nearly excuse a DUI. His blood alcohol in accordance to his weight meant he drank 8 drinks an hour. That is a lot. His friends should've shown better judgement too.
