    Instead of acting like we know exactly what they're doing, I think we all could benefit from minding our own business regarding the band members' personal habits.

    The Singles promo show was fucking hilarious. That is by far the best part of PJ20, lol. "The birth of No." :lol:

    I've always said to fellow fans that there was no way Ed drank nearly as much as is perceived. I'm sure he gets a good buzz on occasion but he's constantly running around, catching tambourines from the crew, etc during the last few songs. A few drinks, maybe but let's not act like he's Weiland up there. I've never heard the Gatorade reference before but it makes sense. The band isn't dumb, some things are for perception, if you want to rant at that aspect then go for it.

    What kind of wine does Ed drink? Pinot noir?

    He usually drinks Barolo, or at least he did a lot of the last couple tours and he says it's his favourite. As a Sommelier, I always seem to try to see what he's drinking whenever I'm close enough to the stage haha. He also used to drink Siduri Pinot Noir from California. I visited them once and they said they used to ship Eddie unlabeled bottles that he would drink on stage. But lately it's been various Barolos

    you are a sommelier? that is awesome! what part of the country are you from?
    i've never had a barolo since they are pretty pricey. i might get one since they occasionally go on sale on wtso.

    Thirty Bills Unpaid

    Thanks for the acknowledgement. I haven't been on this forum for some time. "I'm still here"

    Up and anyway from "corruption" Not sure about that word choice, but I think I get it. Thanks again for your time and attention and reading my words. It was really just a rant, but I have no one to blame except myself for my party lifestyle I have left in 2013...I didnt think I could still listen to PJ and go to shows without being drunk. Guess what? its 1000000000 times better

    Be good to yourselves...

    Bryan

    I can totally relate to your struggles... went thru some of the same stuff last year.
    I used to think it was cool that Ed was fucked up... not anymore.
    I really hope that he has slowed down on his drinking and is staying hydrated.
    for himself and his family.

    Drinking Gatorade out of a wine bottle is one of the stupidest things I've heard. Why not just drink Gatorade out of a Gatorade bottle or a plastic bottle??

    it is kinda weird. I still have never seen any evidence of that. the sip I took from his bottle in 2006 was def wine.
    I have seen him bring a plastic cup on stage at solo shows with Gatorade.

    I've seen it very clearly in person. He does indeed put not-wine in wine bottles. And I really don't give a shit either way and don't care why he does it. It's a non-issue IMO.

    did he pass you a sip of the Gatorade?
    Just curious because some guy on here a few years ago claimed that Ed didn't drink wine at all anymore. that it is all water in the bottles. I called BS on that.

    Lol. No, he only passes real wine to the crowd (I've been there for that too). Eddie definitely still drinks plenty of real wine when he's up there. He switched back and forth. I mean seriously, if he didn't he'd be puking or passed out by the end of the show. No one his size (or any size) can run around like that for 3+ hours, sweating that profusely, only drinking multiple bottles of wine. At best, he'd severely dehydrate.

    I agree. he was severely hung over and sweating like crazy at Columbia in 2008. I kept thinking he must go back stage and hook up to an IV after the gig.

    Was it Charlottesville he actually said on the mic that one of the bottles was Gatorade? When he was giving the kids their first taste of wine? It was one of the shows I went to in '13 or '14, I just don't remember which.

    And anyway, why does anyone care?
