They Should Really Just Have AA Meetings in the Elementary Schools
Tuesday, May 8th, 2007
Just give the kids an early start. Then again, if all alcoholics were sober members of AA, there wouldn’t really be much of a gossip industry. HBO head Chris Albrecht, who was arrested in Vegas after the Mayweather/de la Hoya fight for trying out some of their moves on his girlfriend, is being all like, “Oh, woops, I’m an alcoholic” about it. Albrecht has decided to take a leave of absence from HBO, stating:
This weekend was a wake-up call to me of a weakness I thought I had overcome long ago. I had been a sober member of Alcoholics Anonymous for thirteen years. Two years ago, I decided that I could handle drinking again. Clearly, I was wrong. Given that truth, I have committed myself to sobriety. I intend to take a temporary leave of absence from HBO effective today, in order to go back to working with AA.
