Every few days (or hours), another celebrity or public figure gets busted for some sort of substance abuse, whether it's alcohol, prescription medication, or real drugs.  My stance on it is this:  Just admit it and be done with it.  Nobody cares if you're a pill-popping drunk.  So by denying it, you're just letting it gain more momentum.  If you just admit it, people will have more respect for you.  Normal people drink.  Normal people have gotten their wisdom teeth out and have taken amazing pain-killers.  Normal people understand that getting drunk and high are quite admirable goals, except for their negative effects on the body.  If any of us were in your elevated position, I don't doubt we would do the same.  So just admit it:  You didn't feel like doing that interview, so you downed a few 3 Wise Men before you got there.  You weren't feeling up to that public appearance, so you got hopped up on Vicodin and felt like you were walking on air. #entertainment
