hno:
you may want to google LA Times story on his alcohol consumption and expense reports at UW.... makes for wild, wild reading.
as someone who is very familiar with AA and alcohol abuse, i can't see how he wouldn't think that hanging out in intoxicated semi-regularly in 10 different seattle bars is a bad idea. i understand wanting to get out of the house and away from the coaching pressure but just find one out-of-the-way bar that you like and have them protect you...also, have a personal assistant and get him to buy your alcohol at local store when on the road. making millions you really don't need to expense alcohol consumption.
i hope he gets help as "my friend" did... AA does really work.
interesting to see that petersen sp?, his successor at UW, won't do events with alcohol involved (not sure it that means a glass of wine at a booster's lunch or more alcohol-fuelled events)

i have read more then a few articles on him and if he doesn't think he's an alcoholic then the river of denial is deep bro. i practice the principles of the fellowship and have seen guys who make piles of money continue to decline. this may or may not be a wake up call for him and i sincerely hope he gets help (i wasnt kidding) but if he doesnt do any work (12 steps) then the fatal nature of his disease (self-centered fear) will continue to take him down as you know brother.
