Bret Boone was a drunk

[Post Count Padder]

Bret Boone revealed Monday than an alcohol problem contributed to him walking away from the game two years ago.

 

Boone had gotten to the point where he would drink 12-15 beers after a game. "I don't want to make a big deal about it, but I was at a point where sometimes it was more important to me to go to a hotel bar after a game," he said. "At the end, it takes away your passion and everything inside that makes you tick. I'm not proud of it. I'm proud I took care of the situation before it got to a point where it could have." Boone said he hasn't had a drink in seven months.

Steroids and booze must have made for a nasty combination.

Good lord, I'm amazed his liver is still functioning and not the size of a basketball.

12-15 after A game isn't a big deal. 12-15 after EVERY game? Yeah, that's a problem. I wonder who he was boozing with.

I've always like Boone.

Hasn't the real world already shown that everything in the world is run by Satan?

I've lost a family member to alcoholism. I applaud his being self-aware enough to get help.

I love all of the making fun of someone admitting they were deeply affected by alcoholism
