Real-Estate B*llionaire on why he still drinks 🍺🍺
Do you drink?
Oh, all the time.
You do drink?
Absolutely.
Could you be successful and still drink?
Oh, actually one of my best idea came in when I was completely drunk.
Seriously?
Absolutely, seriously. Like two of my recent patents came up when I was completely drunk.
How many days a week do you drink?
Well I don't drink that much because I need to preserve my energy. Now if I was a Gen Z, I would drink every day, right? But I'm 64 years old guy, right? So I have to time myself, doing two or three times a week.
Well, so do you think drinking though has made your life worse or better?
No, I think drinking makes me forget about the part of my life that is worse.
