Is it just me or does P mention alcohol (wine in particular) more often nowadays? I don't recall him ever promoting alcohol back in the old days.

Uh...not his song, but he wrote it: "Whose wine you drinkin'? Mine!" - 1990

"I'll drink U like a 40 in an alcoholic's hand" - 1993

Seriously though, the wine thing these days probably has more to do with this new image of smooth, mature, old-school cat.

Instead of hittin' that Remi, why don't ya'll hit the door.

Prince is a lush.
