"I've spent all my fun chips and now I've parked my drinking boots in the closet. I haven't had a drink in four years. There wasn't any real specific bottom to it. I was just ready to graduate from adolescence and try my hand at being an adult. And, quite honestly, the woman I was in love with was not really that tolerant of it, so I turned it off."

- Jason Bateman tells The Independent

      I took him
      in the woods
      and I didn't have
      any clothes on and
      I sat on his face. He

      I was just reading in last week's People magazine about the big blowout party he's going to have for his 40th, so there's not going to be any alcohol there, and he isn't going to drink any? He really made it sound like in the article that his partying days of binging on drugs and alcohol were over, not that he doesn't still do those things in moderation. Eh, either way, still like the guy. He seems rational enough.

      its so refreshing to see a hollywood star who is sober. Being in recovery myself for three years, it feels good to know there are others who are in the limelight who recognize that there is more to life than just partying and getting wasted, and that a life without alcohol can be very fullfilling and FUN. And not boring.

      I remember Justin Bratman gave an interview to TV Guide once where he complained about fans bothering him and said that a lot of his fans were fat girls who would come up to him in McDonald's and places like that and because they were not cute it was embarrassing to him. He also got mad because people called him Justin instead of Jason…he had to point that out because it upset him so much. He likes himself more than anyone else ever could. He's a cunt.

      Well, nothing says alcoholic more than a remark like that! If all of his "fun chips" were connected to alcohol, then it's a good thing he quit before he got into the same boat with Hasselhof, Nolte, Mushy, Lohan, Olson twin 1, Bussey, and the greatest one of all- liz taylor. He will be a lot better off with out.

    36. FReal says – reply to this


      36

      He has aged much much better than Chris O'Donnell however, who is also a douchebag.

    37. Brand says – reply to this


      37

      He sounds like a lot of fun…I would hate to think that I "cashed in all my fun chips" at 38! Why not try moderation. His wife must be a royal pain in the ass.

    38. Chris says – reply to this


      38

      I love him and that interview just made me love him more. Why can't I marry him?

      Has Jason Bateman drunk from the fountain of youth? Seriously, this dude looks the same now as when he was 16. Pay attention kids. Booze ages you. Don't drink and you will look as good as this guy! Get plastered and you'll be as ugly as a Lohan!!

    43. Alexi says – reply to this


      43

      I'd get sober for him! LOL! He's sooooo hot and seems so genuine.

    44. Jaye says – reply to this


      44

      what does he mean? He can't have FUN without drinking??

    45. Blunt says – reply to this


      45

      Hey, um, Jason, who gives a flying fuck if the woman you were in love was intolerant of drinking? It's your decision to stop, and I admire you for having done so, and noone else's. Letting a woman dictate lifestyle changes for a man is pathetic as witnessed by pussies such as Mathew Broderick and George Stephanapoulos. Grow a set.

    46. Lynne says – reply to this


      46

      I wish him luck, but if he stopped drinking for someone other than himself, chances are he will drink again. I hope not.

    47. beach says – reply to this


      47

      that is Eric Close of "Without a Trace", not Jason Bateman.

    48. Lynne says – reply to this


      48

      Re: Brand – Listen up. If one is an alcoholic, there is no such thing as moderation. Once you start drinking, you give up the ability of stopping. It's a fact. I'm glad you don't know that, but please understand that's what makes someone an alcoholic.

    67. SoWha says – reply to this


      67

      Good for him! I'm assuming by fun chips he means the mythological free passes you think alcohol gives you to act like a douche and not take responsibility for your actions. Being an adult is fun in it's own way, way more fun that escaping though drunken foolery

    68. Mertr says – reply to this

      Jason, you are a pathetic loser. You gave up the love of your life (drinking) for a woman who will slowy but surely knock down every pin of happiness in your so called life. She's now going to start complaining about crap that she knew about going into the deal: 1) some of your friends - will want you not to see them 2) hanging out too much w/friends 3) demanding a baby NOW - she's not getting any younger and remember this is all about HER, you idiot. 4.) you still have a slight bit of testosterone in your balls.

      Anyway, if you are a full blow alcoholic, then you obviously need to stop, but not because someone is demanding it of you. You are the one with the career and cash, she is not your equal and you should no put up with any demands from any woman. She'll just go find someone else who doesn't put up with her crap. Seems counterintuitive, but that's the way it works.

      Re: JANE – I'm sorry BUT most people I know who NEVER drink (even if they can afford to and have the opportunity to) are kinda boring and uptight. Not that I want someone the complete opposite, I just can't see myself with a non-drinker.
