Yeah, any drink is too much when you are an alcoholic. Just very glad the reports of Ian drinking with him were blown out of proportion (appears Kinsler was there merely to get him out of there).

Sad that he can't manage this better, but it's also not all that surprising. Alcoholism is a disease - you can't always just kick it cold turkey and never have a setback. I'm not a huge Passan fan, but he said the following pretty well:

"Sobriety for those who struggle the most is merely a moment between relapses – hopefully a moment longer than the last, one that eventually lasts forever."
