As fame rose his way, Harris found that drinking ultimately got in the way of his career: “My live shows are a million times better now. If you drink, you can’t even remember if it’s a good show or not — and that’s probably for the best, because it would have been rubbish because I’d have been drunk and not making any sense.”

The President’s abstinence from drinking and drugging has been well covered. During a speech, Trump opened up about his alcoholic brother who died at the age of 43. His brother, he stated, has kept him away from alcohol and other substances.
