Somehow I think Shizzo is bullshiting about his drinking problems. I doubt he is alcoholic. I doubt he drinks much at all.
He is just after acceptance and some sort of support. The same thing happened when he 'died'. One of those people who need to hear people care about him all the time.
Sad thing is that he cannot get that in real life and here and there he gets it on this board.
Funny guy though, he has a good sense of humor.
