Rupert admiited to waking up after a heavy drinking session in a church yard.What annoys me is Dan seems to nowhave been labeled in some reports as a recovering alcholoic. whereas i get the impression he woke up to the possibility he could go down that way if not careful. Also is this the complete interview? or have GQ highlighted this part to 'sell' the full interview. Still, it's going to make for some interesting interviews for Dan while he's back in London. I bet Vanessa and Stuart are going to earn their wages as Dan spokespersons in the next few days.Who said being a Dan fan was ever boring!
Yeah I agree I'm not thrilled Dan has gotten labeled as an alcoholic. It could very well be that he is but I got the same impression that he realized he was getting to the point of no return as far as alcoholism goes when he stopped drinking.

I still say good for him in that he admitted he is not capable in being a "casual drinker". He technically didn't have to go there in any interview since he was lucky and never got caught in a drunken situation ( that's got to say something about the british paps versus the US ones). I can see him really being hounded by the US talk shows and reporters once he begins publicity for part 2 though. The good thing though is that from what we have seen of Dan so far, he will handle the questions about his drinking with grace and humor.
