We all know the infamous story about Adam missing the gig in Australia due to his partying and the ensuing intervention that followed. I read in "U2ByU2" Adam saying he stopped drinking. I wasn't sure if this was still the case.
I commend anyone who does this. It's been over 11 years since my last drink.

He might still drink, but it's more a socially accepted way of drinking, like I do (and most of us do). He isn't addicted anymore, I he was, we would notice that, I think.

Occasional social drink is my understanding

I drink in moderation, i.e. not very much, but with regard to Adam I think he's just a social type of drinker type, I think the whole ZooTV episode had a major effect on his perception of drugs and the world etc., and to be honest U2 and everyone connected to them (e.g us) are the better for it

You're correct, Adam hasn't touched any alcohol for many years.

You know the reason that I don't want to is Islam...if at any time I want to drink, it will be if I stop believing in Islam, then I will be able to drink...and some other stuff. Get my point?
