Racing To Get Drunk Before Dinner - Dick Van Dyke
Dick Van Dyke has a new book out, and I was hoping for more dirt than you actually get in the book, but it does have some interesting tales. Apparently Dick was a huge alcoholic. He would count down the hours and minutes while filming the Dick Van Dyke show and as soon as the clock struck five he was out the door and drinking. His wife did not seem to care and Dick says they had a contest where he would try and get drunk before she could finish getting dinner ready. After many years of drinking, Dick checked himself into rehab and got sober. On the day he was checking out, his wife checked in for her own addiction to tranquilizers. That is a good start Dick, but I know you can do better. Dish.
