Quick! Does Prince drink? Smoke?

I really don't think Prince is a regular drinker. Maybe a half a glass of wine for dinner, but that's it. I'm pretty sure he HATES smoking as it makes him stink and effects his voice.

I do though think Prince is an active tobacco chewer. His favorite brand is Skoal Cherry Long Cut Chew. Just kidding...

Anyone see any pictures of Prince drinking/smoking?
What do you think?

"Every night for 7 years now I drink bananna daquiris till I'm blind..."



"all I've got is two cigarettes and this broken heart of mine..."


Not sure if he stil does, but some of his previous lyrics imply he may have at one point.

You people are SO damn literal. On SOTT he sang about a man dying of AIDS & another doing drugs - does that mean HE has AIDS or did drugs just b/c he sang about it?? It's a fucking lyric. In song he can apply situations to himself or others. I just means he can understand the situation, not necessarily that the situation is HIS. rolleyes

No. I don't believe what the rumor people say. And I don't like the people atthe AmericInn saying anything about him. I will never grace that Crappy Run-down Place again. Prince you should build your own Inn for the Fans. How Dare them say he has an Alcohol Problem or numerous other comments. It was the front desk and also I think some nasty reporters were staying there cause they made comments to me also. Prince please sue these Trolls. Also,Prince sue the people who posted that picture of you and Mani at the Basketball Game ,because they Deliberately took you at the wrong angles. And furthermore they were bothering me the Reporters from the Newspaper at the Celebration. Looking for a story. Prince I Never want to Deal with these Trolls Ever again. Sue them and shut them up! Exclude them from future gigs. Anybody who Doesn't respect you or gives a bad review to you in a Nasty way should no longer be Welcomed at your Home so to speak!

Here is what pisses me off the most! Even if Prince had a Problem with anything who in the Hell are they to say anything are they the so called Enlightened Ones? How Dare you Troll People say something Negative about my baby Prince. Are you God? AmericINN Assholes. Dumb Journalists Smermalists!

Johnny I don't believe you. Which clubs? Why would Prince allow somebody to see him drinking? I've seen him at clubs before and he's never had anything other than coca cola. Are you sure it wasn't coca cola? They look similar you know?

I'm sick of this shit...We need a major policing of this site to stop bullshitters such as this idiot, and I'm IN to be involved. These clowns say shit without any proof, and it's disrepectful to Prince, and any human being who is trying to enjoy life in general. Were you even close to Prince? How do you know it was bourbon? This crap has to stop...If you are going to post on here, watch what you say, cuz I am watching you, and sense others feel the same way as I do. What reason do you have for even mentioning this crap anyway? Grow up, and show some bloody respect!

Yes it's mean and it's like trying to make him look like a liar. I'm very sick of it. Let's ask the person posting this National Enquirer Garbage what the reason for this and what does the person venture in asking it? Sounds like somebody with a Negative Agenda to me. What is the Purpose anyway? It's really all about the Music and he's the best Musician there is. Fans really don't care about this Trashy Stuff! And if you think I wouldn't like him or another fan wouldn't like him cause he's a Human Being well you are Quite wrong!

Are you the prince police or something? unless you're a close personal friend of Prince, none of us know if he does or doesnt smoke and drink booze. It was just a trivial question. Fact is there ARE lyrics that mention drinking and smoking. NO that doesnt mean it for sure. It was just a thought, its not slander. And theres no sense in calling people idiots and tweaking out on them for chatting Prince.

There are alot of musicians who smoke/drink. And some who quit later in their careers such as Aretha and Stevie Nicks. If someone wants to discuss if Prince ever did these things and the potential effect on his music and or attitude towards it, theres nothing wrong with that.

If Prince always considered smoking and drinking such a hideous thing to do, I doubt he would have wrote first person lyrics mentioning doing those things. No sooner than we would see him write a song about how hes throwing on a hood and burning crosses in someones front yard.

Honestly with his recent interests in vegan/vegetarian lifestyle and his concern over his faith, I doubt either of these things fit into his life anymore, if ever.

But I also think you are more offended by it than he or anyone else on here is.

No creativity = black & white conclusions



He said "my brother tried reefer for the very first time, now he's doing horse, its June", not "I tried reefer for the very first time, now I'm doing horse, its June"

I was simply pointing out some lyrics where he mentioned in first person smoking and drinking. I wasn't proclaiming it a fact that he does either.

Is there any reason to call someone uncreative and basically imply their stupid for doing this? With your logic we could argue that he might not even worship God, he's simply an Atheist who can identify with Jehovahs...

YES YES YES thank u!!! i just took a close inspection of the photo myself and it is indeed a lollipop!!...for some reason the lollipop has a "glow" to it, probably from the camera lens or a reflection of his suit...i could never imagine Prince smoking...im glad he doesnt smile...lol, i need some glasses! biggrin...plus im a little nuts sometimes...yeah thats my excuse for thinking it was a cigarette! biggrin

I'm offended by topics that are ridiculous, untrue, and irrelevant Tom...and if somebody was going around saying, "I saw your buddy drinking bourbon last night", as foolish as the topic is in the first place, if it's not true, then it's my right to defend it. I HAVE in fact, heard others on here defend stuff said about Prince that was made up, on this particular subject, and others as well. Maybe people should think about how they word things. Some young kid who really looks up to Prince, might read this, and think, oh, well Prince drinks, so it's cool. Ever think about that one?

I should clarify Tom, that my comments were directed toward Johnny, who said "I saw Prince drinking straight bourbon at a MpLs club(recently)"...and that's why I said what I said...It was NOT directed at the person who started this thread...
