Rumors that Scotty Nguyen has problems with his alcohol use has been circulating on the web for a very long time. That he was really drunk at the televised final table in the 2008 WSOP HORSE-event didn't really help him prove people they were wrong about him and his "so-called" alcohol problems.

What loads of us like to play poker whilst having a drink. Even if some of us like to have a game whilst drunk thats no shame! Poker is a game, some people have the skill and attitude to make money from it but its still just a game of cards. If it wasnt for the drunks and donks some of us wouldnt be able to dominate so easy...lol Any way Scotty is a fine player and im sure he will prove his doubters wrong.

I've seen this player a lot of times on tv poker and he was almost always smiling... Always nice to the others, full of positive energy... cracking a few jokes here and there.. he wasn't giving the impression of a man being drunk, but rather of someone in a very good mood. I wish more players were like him... Go Scotty, go!
