Funnyman Bill Murray has learned he was arrested for drunk driving in Sweden this summer because the country has a zero-tolerance policy about such crimes.

Murray was pulled over for driving a golf cart through Stockholm at 3:30 a.m. - dropping friends off after a party. He refused a field breath test and was later forced to give blood in a police station. And he insists he would have avoided the controversy altogether if he'd have picked a different mode of transport.

He jokes, "He (police officer) wanted me to blow into some sort of technical device that tests your alcohol content and I said, `I'm sorry, but where I come from, you have to act stupid or goofy or hit something or drive erratically... You're just assuming that I'm drunk because I'm driving a golf cart at 3:30 in the morning.'

"I gave them my blood and they took my blood and my blood count was 0.3 something - it's like half the legal limit for the United States of America... But, for having any amount of alcohol and driving a golf cart, you have to pay something. The next time (I visit) I'm gonna get a big truck."
