Mayor Rob Ford has addressed reports that he was behaving unusually while attending the Taste of the Danforth Friday, telling listeners on his weekly radio show on Newstalk 1010 that he had a “couple beers” and let his hair down a bit at the event.

Ford also apologized to anyone who may have been offended as a result.

"Did I have a couple beers? Absolutely I had a couple beers, but you know what I met a lot of people, I took hundreds of pictures and I had a good time,” Ford said. “I think things are getting blown out of proportion and if I offended anyone I apologize, but I don’t believe I did offend anyone.”

The comments are the first Ford has made since a video that appeared to show him slurring his words while mingling with attendees surfaced online.

Speaking with CP24 Sunday afternoon, a spokesperson for the mayor said that Ford drove himself to the event, but decided to have a staff member drive him home.
