Video shatters Toronto mayor Rob Ford's vow to stay off alcohol

A new video has surfaced showing Toronto's scandal-plagued mayor - who pledged to stay off alcohol after admissions of crack smoking and binge drinking - in an apparent drunken stupor this week.

The roughly one-minute clip shot in a fast food restaurant depicts Rob Ford, dressed in a suit and tie, slurring his words, swearing and sometimes breaking into Jamaican patois.

Confronted by reporters, Ford acknowledged the footage was shot late Monday and admitted he had been drinking.

"A little bit, yeah," he said.

But he flatly rejected a reporter's question asking if he thought the video was offensive.

"No, I was with some friends and what I do in my personal life with my personal friends, that's up to me," he said.
