Re: Does Dave still have a drinking problem?
No one in this whole discussion has provided any OFFSTAGE evidence AT ALL of any real signs of alcoholism or of Dave being on the spectrum.
How a performer acts onstage or comes across, while sometimes sure s/he may have been drinking or high or acting in a way some fans would think was "not normal", ALL of that is still onstage and I've been around enough bands and artists pre-show, during the show, and then after the same show to know that some artists truly just become other beings when they're onstage.
I'm not saying Dave is faking it or "transforms into another being" onstage, but performing is performing, it can bring other things out in people that you wouldn't see offstage, and also it can mean some people have a "persona" they become because that's how they put on a good show.
No one has claimed any evidence or stories of any behaviors offstage that speak to alcoholism or autism, so to me, both of these speculative roads people are headed down in this convo are pure 100% speculation with zero actual evidence. No one can reasonably walk away thinking they strongly believe he's either.
