Why would anyone make fun of someone who has quit drinking?! I think he's a very smart boy, we need more like him nowadays.

WOW. Here is a 20 year old who may have been on a dangerous path & has the self-realization & bravery to make some changes and admissions. I just can't understand why no one wants to support this.
When I was younger, they had not done HALF the studies on T-Cells & how alcohol is such a Progressive Disease. You cannot quit and then go back to it and be able to maintain moderation. That is what that means. Tolerance develops. And the weird thing is someone who drinks regularly can have a huge drunken & out of control reaction to only one drink on one instance, and science still doesn't know why.
Also, if he is strong enough to quit now and has good people around to encourage him, MAYBE JUST MAYBE that would not be such a BAD THING to adopt down the road. NO ONE says he HAS to as long as he is legal BUT…on the OTHER HAND…perhaps he will stick with sobriety forever and appreciate life more. I highly recommend it. Some people are better off not imbibing at all.
The Big Book in Alcoholics Anonymous is truly insightful. Look in the phonebook & go to a meeting & listen to those who have been through the same things as you--and sometimes even more. Also quite scintillating is "Under the Influence" by Dr. James Milam & Katharine Ketcham.

Haley should know better. I'm still struggling to comprehend this. I'd never expect this of him. I guess looks can be decieving sometimes. I still think that Haley is a great actor, and I'll always be a big fan of his work. Haley's a lovely name by the way.

Well Bully for him! I'm glad he "fought the demons" that he should never have had at 18! Now that he CAN legally drink, I hope he can stay the course.

I love Haley JOel Osment! I am crazy about him and I am so so so sad that he crashed but I am disappointed that he was caught with drugs. Haley is a great actor and a good role model and I just...... love him so much. Haley is a cool name for a guy even though heaps of you idiots say its a girls name. I love all his movies! Go Haley Joel Osment and good on him for giving up drinking. We need more people in the world like him! I LOVE HALEY JOEL OSMENT!

Not every person who has been charged with a DUI is an alcoholic. A friend of mine who is not a problem drinker had two glasses of wine at a party and got stopped by the police on her way home. She received a DUI conviction. She still does not drink much. I think Haley learned from this experience. I hope he is able to drink responsibly when he is of age. Alcoholism is such a devastating disease. I would not wish it on anyone.

Wow, a very young star does something noble and he gets razzed? What's wrong with you people? Then you go to another article about a star unable to win their battle with addiction and THEY get razzed ... They can't win with you people!
