Boonen is a Victim!
Panel says Boonen didn't take cocaine
Boonen, who had tested positive for cocaine a year earlier as well, has said he suffered an alcohol-induced blackout on the night of his alleged cocaine use and doesn’t recall whether he took the drug this year.
Boonen's cocaine use thrown into confusion
"But Tytgat did not quite agree. "To me, it is very unlikely that cocaine traces in the hair can be a result of a handshake or particles in the air. If there are hair traces, then there has been a direct contact," he told Het Laatste Nieuws."
that's one hell of a party.

partying and passing out hardly makes one an alcoholic.

Sounds like Mr. Boonen's problem is with the bottle, not the blow. 'Blackout' drinking? Oh yeah. That never ends well.

I feel for Tom, I really do. I remember when I was a young, innocent lad just trying to get an education when some evil aliens would kidnap me and take me on their space ship to Municipal Stadium so they could interrogate and torture me while the crowd was distracted by the Indians playing baseball. The torture was horrible...they made me smoke dope & cigarettes and drink beer, sometimes so fast that I would spill it all over myself. Then, when they were through having their way with me, they would drop me off at home, visible to only me, making me look crazy when I tried to explain to my parents what had happened.
Worse...it still happens sometimes to this day!

Chip, you were young and innocent at one time? I thought you were just old, crass and fuggly right from the womb.

Give him a break. Lots of things may have happened. For example, he may have gotten crack cocaine instead of meth.

even if he blames alcohol all three times? and the the 4th, which we can safely assume is in his future. I have drank/drunk/drinked my share of beers and been blitzed, but never to the point of passing out.

Then you ain't never done any serious drinking. Don't lay your guilt on us.

I've passed out from drinking. I went to college. I don't remember my 21st birthday. I am far from an alcoholic, I barely drink.
