Andy Powell and the golf buggy: what really caused it?

It's been a few days since the the funniest incident of the decade occured, we are still unsure as to what possessed the serial possession surrenderer to get on that golf buggy.  Let's consider some possible reasons here.

1.  Powell himself says that after going to bed at around 1am, he rose at 6:30am with a hankering for some bacon sarnies.  On discovering they were not available in the hotel at that hour, he and his colleague got into the golf buggy to get said pig & bread snack from the services.  Of course, he then had to deal with swine of a very different kind when the police rocked up. 

B&M Likelihood of Truth Rating of Justice: 60% - we believe the bit about breakfast, but not the bit about the bed-time

2.  Powell was up until 6:30am mainlining Magners, moved onto gin & tonic and realised that the hotel had run out of lemons, went in the golf buggy to get some from the services.

B&M Likelihood of Truth Rating of Justice: 30% - probably was up drinking all night, but any fule kno that at that stage of bladderedness you can do gin & tonic without lemon. Or ice.  Or tonic.

3.  Walter Sobchak, Powell's pal from "The Big Lebowski" (right), was on the session with him and on discovering there was no breakfast ready, he stated that "this is not 'Nam, this a hotel, there are rules, and that includes breakfast at a CERTAIN FUCKING TIME!", before accusing the staff being "FUCKING AMATEURS!" and declaring that "I can get you some breakfast within 30 fucking minutes", stealing the buggy with Powell and going on the trip.

4.  He was absolutely, totally and irredeemably spannered on a cocktail of drinks so extensive it resembled the warehouse of a Diageo depot, and simply thought at the time it would be a good laugh. 

B&M Likelihood of Truth Rating of Justice: 100% - as Vyvyan in The Young Ones said on being asked why the front door was nailed to the ceiling; "I had to, I was drunk".  No further explanation required.
