To Xanxus, that sounds really lame. Then again, he'd been avoiding having to do that sort of thing. The tabloids had claimed he'd gone to rehab after all. Who better to go around and tell the kiddies to just say no then someone whose life was "ruined" by their vices.

"Just this once, I'll pretend you aren't some great guy that helps the brats stay on the straight and narrow and accept." He reaches for the drink and frowns. "And so you know, I was drinking like this before all that label bullshit went down. I use it as a painkiller. Only one that still works for me." Least that's his excuse now.
