Self control. Money and fame makes weak ass people lose that and all they have left is excuses blaming everyone and everything but themselves.

Does anyone know what his favorite drink was? Or did he just inhale any form of liquid :dame:

He's not making excuses he just didn't clarify.

There's a difference between binge drinking and alcoholism. A binge drinker will consume a lot of alcohol. An alcoholic will drink until it's all gone or they pass out, every time. Some of the worse alcoholics bodies depend on alcohol to feel normal, they'll go through withdrawals and be sick without it, that's not a mind over matter, that's physical illness. An alcoholics mind is plagued with thoughts about drinking. It's never just one beer, or one or two shots. A normal person has a governor, a signal from their brain that says "that's enough" "you can stop now" "you're satisfied" they can open a beer, take a couple drinks, set the beer down or pour it out, or even finish it and be done. An alcoholic does not have that, theres no one beer, it's 6 beers, 12 beers, 18, 24....and you might be thinking, well tolerance. It's not tolerance based. Imagine, you play basketball or go to the gym or go for a run and afterward your like "I'm thirsty" and you drink 32oz of water and your like "I still feel thirsty" then you drink another 32oz, and maybe more but you still feel thirsty so you keep drinking. An alcoholic brain is not the same as a non alcoholics brain. This is science. You can view the differences between them. You can read about how they are different. It's not mind over matter.

If you're an alcoholic you definitely should not choose to drink the first drink, but as humans, our bodies don't all respond the same way when each of us has that one drink. That is the difference.

Alcoholism is an issue that is hard to deal with. I'm an alcoholic, and was sober for 5 years. I started drinking again, but only on the weekends and never more than 4 drinks a day. I know this is gonna sound alcoholic-ish, but I'm a better, more social person when I drink. I shut myself off for 5 years. I didn't see anyone. No girls, no friends. Nothing. It was a terrible existence. Now that I started drinking again, I'm seeing girls and hanging out with people again. You just gotta moderate that shyt, but it is hard for an alcoholic. You always want more. I want more than 4 beers after the last beer is gone, but I cut myself off. I know people are gonna say, nah, you'll just slip back to drinking all day. I hope not, but we'll see. It's all about moderation. Maybe I'll be dead in a year. My health is poor, and I keep thinking I'll be dead soon, so why not enjoy life? Being completely sober sucks. It killed my life.
