bourbon with an FBI label implies he jonesing. When I was only allowed one drink a night I'd spend most of my day thinking of what I was going to have, when and how. I would seriously talk to an addiction counselor if I was him. I joined AA after a DUI (I didn't hit or hurt anybody) and have not had a drop since. One of the best things I have ever done.
