And he later admits to drinking a six or 12 pack of beer every day. Jimmy reminds me of when I got my first big job at a newspaper. I had to take a drug test as part of the hiring process. When I arrived at the clinic, they had me blow into a breathalyzer first. That was surprising to me. "If someone knew their job depended on this test, why would they drink beforehand?" I asked the doctor. He told me that I'd be surprised at how many people fail that first test, because they couldn't resist having a drink due to their addiction. Jimmy, I suppose, would be one of those people who wouldn't be able to resist having a drink despite the consequences. Watch the sneak peek below.
