COLUMBIA (AP) - A state senator is giving up drinking since his arrest last weekend on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

Senator Chuck Graham canceled a previously scheduled cash bar at a Columbia fund raiser. The Columbia Democrat said he "didn't think it would be prudent" to have a weekend cash bar just six days after his DWI arrest. Columbia police say Graham's car rear-ended another vehicle, which then hit a third vehicle. Police say Graham admitted he'd had two beers. He denied repeated requests to take a breath test but police later got blood and urine samples. Tests on those are pending and Graham has not yet been charged. At the fundraiser, he called the episode "humbling" and said it had forced him to re-evaluate some things in his life.
