Do you drink? I do not. I'm casual drinker at best. I might grab a Hennessy and Coke once a week, that's about it. Do you think people successful and drink? I think some people can, but I wouldn't advise it because that's not the case for everybody. And I think the safe thing to say is that if you inhale alcohol, you're going to be inebriated to some degree, which means you're not going to be at your full potential. So you can still succeed, but are you truly being all you can be? I don't believe that answer is yes.
