Rather pitiful interview from Hatton

[Gandalf]

Yeah, Hatton does appear to be in denial somewhat. Drinking 10 beers every day, or even even every other day, surely makes you an alcoholic. Being an alcoholic isn't only about needing the shot at 7am when you wake up, but it is when it is a prevalent and abused part of your everyday life. It appears to have got to that stage with Hatton, so why not just come out and tell it for what it is. I sympathise with Hatton to a degree, but Skel makes some good points. Hatton still seems to be trying to shimmy and shake his way out of it with excuses and denial. Probably not the best way to go about dealing with problems and reminiscent of the excuses after the two losses.
