On his first The Five, he said he was helping drunks get sober and druggies get off drugs. He said it was hard and he didn’t like it, but he wanted to help those who he once was.
If he’s drinking again, I don’t know... but he’s so rude, he can’t keep that slot on The Five. He is full of hate. Eric asked him about that one time... it’s pretty obvious he is one angry man. When confronted about his anger, he backtracks... but that doesn’t help when he is so full of it.
I guess it’s easy to go to drink again after being sober.. But I do not know if beckel is back on it or not... I just see the anger and hate.. it’s a downer for that show...and the panel has to know this.. their show will be terminated if they let him stay.
He’s not drinking. It’s called the Dry Drunk. It impairs your thinking and your health too.
I feel for the guy in the sense that every day is a challenge, but the anger and hate is so palatable it spoils the show.
