    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..

    If Simmons was a well-rounded guy who is respected by many, then he can tell us about how dumb it is to drink and get high. But his character is not good enough to be giving life advice. Also, chasing skirt also does not give you more money or success and costs money. At least some of us choose to do something that doesn't degrade another person.

      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.

    Not everyone who drinks have the intention of getting wasted. There's this thing called "moderation". Smoking and Drugs, I'm against that for sure!

The thing is, just because I drink in moderation, never smoked and never had drugs in my system, doesn't make me a better human being than those who did. Just saying.

    I’d be curious to know if he’s ever had a drink in his life because apparently Ted Nugent drinks regularly (in moderation) but he also claims the “never been drunk, never been high” mantra. So there’s some wiggle room there like when Trump says “I’ve never had a glass of alcohol,” well neither have I if you take that statement literally yet I drink all the time.
