liquor-store[Blind Gossip] This famous movie actor likes to tell people that he is sober.

Then what was he doing in a liquor store in Los Angeles? Alone. Around midnight. No, he wasn’t buying ice. He was buying a pint of booze.

Actor:

[Optional] Off the wagon… or buying it for “a friend”?

    I’m figuring it’s Mel Gibson. Pint is English and Mel was born in the UK (then moved to Australia). Not sure if American’s use the word booze but that’s also typically an Australian/English term.

    Must be a slip-up otherwise he’d have it stashed at home surely?

    Rob Lowe? Really who cares! I hope they enjoyed it. The surgeon General said yesterday that abstinence is not the best solution for alcoholism

    Hoping it isn’t Shia. I heard him on the radio today saying it was close to a year since he drank.
    I love Shia he’s talented an amazing. Hope he gets it under control.

    Actor: I hope it’s not Robert Downey Jr.

    Optional: Off the wagon. Nobody who wants to stay sober even walks into a liquor store.

    Brad Pitt said any number of times his drinking/drugging days were in the past. He blamed his bad habits on his ex and the uninspired marriage. But there were stories that contradicted this claim. Seems to fit.

    “No he wasn’t buying ice” ice is a term for some type of blow so I think this might be Zac Efron.

    Matthew Perry

    clues: Friends and ice (he is famous for his love of hockey)

    alcoholics who fall off the wagon often don’t want to admit they have a problem and think buying a small bottle/pint will give them some control.

    Michael Douglas says that he is sober.

    In the movie “Disclosure” he keeps getting secret messages signed by “A Friend.”

    Also…buying ice…an ice pick features prominently in “Basic Instinct” and Sharon Stone actually goes to town on a block of ice with it in a scene with Mike.

    That’s my guess.

    This is a long shot but I would guess, Gerard Butler? Because he mentions being sober a lot and “pint” would fit. Plus, a few years ago when I first heard his sober story I then saw hima few weeks later at a bar in Austin,TX drinking on Sunday morning. It was during South by Southwest festival.

    Yeah and they also didn’t mean pint like the way Brits use it (& americans who are beer snobs lol jk jk); they meant it like a small bottle of booze, not much bigger than a flask… if Americans say they are “buying a pint for Saturday”, let’s say, they almost definitely mean that & not a glass of beer… It’s the same amount ml wise obviously, but not the same thing lol And as everyone is saying, booze is super common a word to use here in the US… but more means liquor (or “boozing”…

    Enough people have pointed out that Mel was actually born in the US but no one has mentioned that he is originally from Detroit not NY. I am pretty sure that is the case.

    I’m going with David Arquette, with Courteney Cox being the ‘friend.’ He seems to be struggling lately.

    Small irrelevant detail but a US pint is 16oz and an Imperial (UK) pint is 20oz … I could lost off an annoying amount of measurements that are for whatever reason not the same here despite both being called “teaspoon” “cup” or “pint”. It’s lovely trying to make recipes from an American cookbook over here -_-

    Small complaint though, the food still tastes just fine 🙂
