We all know that Al enjoys a good gulp of wine on stage nowadays. Historically, I have seen him chug from a bottle of Fightin’ Cock Whiskey (1990) and had the pleasure of receiving a beer (Miller Genuine Draft) from him during a RevCo show (1991).
I wonder what some of you have seen on stage…

In '88, he walked out on stage with a bottle of either Jim Beam or Jack Daniels, took a swig, and spit into the crowd. I dunno, what would you rather drink straight, Jim or Jack? I’m not a big fan of either.

Jim Beam, please!
I’ve witnessed several bottles of red wine - couldn’t determine the brand.
at the cocks show in st. louis in 91 just before “In the Neck” chris had a bottle (not sure what it was - some kinda whiskey) - he was absolutely trashed - he held the bottle up and looked at it then said he had a “limp dick” then they started the tune. at that same show (later on) Al had a waitress bring a cooler full of corna’s on the stage and he handed then out to a lot of people. the dude in front of me was at al’s feet he the bright idea to shake his up and spray it and it went in al’s face and eye’s - and he got pissed and said to the kid “oh just fucking great - brilliant asshole” then started playing again.
good times.
excuse me… that’s ‘90. (after looking at the prongs’ concert listing). in fact, the st. louis show isn’t listed at all - maybe it’s because the show was orignally cancelled - but then added at the end of the tour. i think maybe i should scan my ticket stub, or may be not. [cool]
good times.
Do it!
I know there were a couple dates added after the original chedule. The one in Choicago at the Cubby Bear wasn’t listed anywhere either.
I didn’t see this personally, but Al used to drink bile-beer from Jim Rose’s stomach-pump guy at Lollapalooza.
I’m pretty sure al was drinking whiskey at Lollapalooza & i think a bottle of wine & whiskey during DSOTS.

04/23/96 Washington, D.C., U.S.A. - Capitol Ballroom
He ended the show that way. Only since I was leaning over the railing some got in my eye. [crazy]
I don’t remember Al Drinking anything on this last tour. I went to Both Hollywood shows the vegas show and the anaheim show and the only person I remember drinking was Raven and I think he was chugging a coors or a bud.
BTW that guy was cool! He seemed super intimidating on stage telling peeople to “fuck off” and saying he’s kick their ass but off stage he was super nice very polite guy!!

I’m pretty sure he was still downing the red wine from a sports bottle on this last tour…
Yeah he was but not on stage. He definitely got through at least 3 bottles of red wine before the show in Wacken tho…
The last 2 tours Al was definitely drinking wine & only wine…at least what I saw. [tongue]

Now that you mention it… Yep he was drinking from a sports bottle I beleive it was white with a blue foamy thing around it to keep it cool. I mayu be mistaken about the color but there was definately a sports bottle!
