    He was addicted to heroin, which he quit.

    I don't remember him ever being an alcoholic...although it's certainly possible.

    Last time he was in the news, it was alcohol related, no? I don't follow baseball closely, but I vaguely remember some pics surfaced of him at a bar doing body shots off some randoms sluts. He then told his wife and the Rangers organization that he had in fact relapsed for one night and came clean.

    Look, if he can drink one beer and handle it, great. Good for him. Just pulling this outta my ass, but like 90% of "addicts" can't do that. 6 months later they'll be sucking someones dick for H in an alley in Baltimore. It's like that, for some people.

    I'm pretty sure he has an addictive personality and has a problem with any mind altering substances.
    As sad as it is, I think that he will continue to have sporadic relapses throughout his life. The fact that he has to have people accompany him and he can't carry ANY cash on him really shows how bad he has the potential of being.

    umm wat? people can have addictive personalities...but there can also be a person who has completed rehab for drugs and can still have a beer or a night out without becoming an alcoholic.

    please find me the study that shows that 100% of drug addicts will become an alcoholic after drinking.

    or, in this case...please find me a study that shows that 100% of recovering heroin addicts are guaranteed to become alcoholics if they have a drink.

    Why do you think he hasn't drank in two years? Just didn't feel like it?

    he has drank...there are pics on the internet of him doing body shots off some broads in arizona.

    pretty sure that's where the whole "vow to my family" thing came from...he told them he would stop drinking after those pics got leaked. and that's the reason he wasn't supposed to be drinking. like i said in the other thread...breaking vows to your family is a personal matter between him and his wife. this shouldn't even be in the news...
