"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."

FIRST BITCHESSSSSS

I wish my X could've manned up like this. We'd still be together if he hadn't chosen the booze over me.
Not even on New Years Eve?? WHAT A BORING PERSON. DUH.
oh, jason.
i heart him!!!
Yeah, Jason!!
He could teach some other Hollywood forever-boys a thing or two about finding real happiness!
Love him!!!
I love him! (more of an echo than a post in and of itself, now that I peruse previous comments)
he still so hot after all these years! Yum Yum
{{{{ I luv thiz guy ..hezzzzzzzzz funny }}}}}}}}}
[[ glad 2/hear hez not boozin it up..smoke pot..itz good 4/ya ]]]
Now, thats a REAL man!!
Its a bold move lets hope it works out for him.
Perez really likes him, huh? Spent all his fun chips? That's depressing.
Anything for a vagina .. i love the lengths men go through for women.
MAN, he is HOT. Love Jason Batman. Is he single? LOL
so he's a dry drunk?? narcotics anonymous and alcoholics anonymous —the only things that work
fuck you jason bateman. go bore someone else.
I took him
in the woods
and I didn't have
any clothes on and
I sat on his face. He
is a wonderful tongue.
He's all grown up! Good for Him!!
Re: Atika the Know-It-All Biatch –
Are you a gypsy bitch that tells fortunes? You look scarey.
this is such bull shit. i've seen jason bateman drinking etc at the nightclub cain in nyc within the last 2-3 years.
I love him even more now.
is there anything NOT to like about this guy? he's amazing. thanks perez, i'll take all the jason bateman news i can!!!
Re: sigh – Same with me and thousands of others.
Good for him!
I wish my husband would stop drinking so he would stop beating my ass for not having his supper on the table when he walks in our trailer.
Let it go Jason. Don't sweat the small stuff.

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.
weichei.
Nothing sexier than a sober guy. Drunks guys, not so much!!!!
Jason is sooo yummy!! I wish most of my loser ex boyfriends had half the consideration this man did for the woman he loved.
i love him
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.
He has aged much much better than Chris O'Donnell however, who is also a douchebag.
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.
I love him and that interview just made me love him more. Why can't I marry him?
Jason Bateman is my secret love…
When he was in Arrested Development I had a crush on both him and Michael Cera.. Is that kinky ??
.
.
SNIP!

He's aged so well. His sister on the other hand…FUG!
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!!
I'd get sober for him! LOL! He's sooooo hot and seems so genuine.
what does he mean? He can't have FUN without drinking??
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.
I wish him luck, but if he stopped drinking for someone other than himself, chances are he will drink again. I hope not.
that is Eric Close of "Without a Trace", not Jason Bateman.
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.
He's so cute and funny….I would take him drunk or sober
funny, talented, good looking & smart. robert downy needs to call jason asap.
He's still hot! Love him.
Love him!
damn, after all these years he's still hot. whew… makes me sweat.
who cares…he may be cute to look at but a real asshole in person…
OMG! He looks so gorgeous now! I bet quitting the booze really improved his looks.
I Love Him!
what a cutie. good for him.
this man has become so much more handsome over the year's…what's with his wacky sister's eye brow's though? she look's weird…
he is so hot.
i still wish him and juno hooked up. they had great chemistry. althoguh, no one else seems to agree.
20 yrs later and this guy is still a hunk and can be on the cover of TEEN BEAT!!!!!!!!!! and hilarious!! one of my favorites!!!
that is one handsome man. and funny…seems like he'd keep you laughing!
Humor - Sensitive - Smart - F#@CKING HOT!!! = This guy is PERFECT!!!
I'd taken you just the way you are Jason!
You mean a Hollywood actor acting like an adult? Like a man? That's hot. Love him.
What a hottie!!!! And a REAL man at that! Good for him!!!
O, how I love thee, even more……
(singing) And Iiiiiiiiiii will always love youuuuuuu!!!!!
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
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.
Arrested Development is the best show ever. Go see it at hulu.com
I LOVE THAT MAN!!!
I wouldn't mind getting drunk with him one time. He's probably really funny.
I am in love with him.
I love him
He's really cute.
I flove Jason Bateman!! I missed him when he wasn't acting all those years. He's a true talent.
WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!!
HE LOOKS SO FREAKIN HOT IN THIS PIC
LOOOOOOOVE HIM
HOT HOT HOT STUFF
I miss Arrested Development.
Good for him, but you gotta drink now and then!
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.
