    Gene has a point for sure. With that being said, everything is balance. Nothing wrong with having a drink if you know when to say when and the appropriate time to have a drink. Or, simply don’t ? Even “chasing skirt” as Gene says,.. can be somewhat of a vice or addiction. Everyone has different vices,.. drink, drugs, money, sex, work,. (Yes, I said work) again you have to find your balance. More importantly, hopefully those vices are not hurting the people around you. Family, friends etc..

      No it's not because the statement doesn't exist and you are in denial about it. No such thing as being " sober". Gene is highly addicted to money and sex. Someone that does not consume,ingest or smoke drugs can be addicted to porn or video games.

      I agree. I think he's being a little disingenuous when he says he's never been "high." He's only talking about illicit drugs and alcohol. But you can get plenty numb on prescription stuff, and I'm sure he's had those at some point in his life.
