Hot Vegas
Richie Sambora -- Extremely High Risk Blackjack

There's no place more dangerous in the world for a recovering alcoholic than a Blackjack table in Vegas -- but this weekend at the Hard Rock, Richie Sambora was in the mood to gamble...

Richie Sambora

Fortunately, the Bon Jovi guitar legend -- who went to rehab for booze in '07 and got a DUI in '08 -- only took a chance with the cards, because Sambora and his crew stuck to bottled water all night long.

That's a win in our book.

1. addiction is addiction-- why put yourself in a spot where you are surrounded by alcohol and HUGE amounts of impulse-based decisons like casino? he's going to end up swapping the comfort & thrill of one addiction by a very highly addictive habit?

6. It really is helpful if your friends don't drink either while you're around. Its a good sign of support. That's how I quit smoking. My friends wouldn't smoke around me for about a year. After a year, other people smoking around me didn't bother me. I don't know if that would work with alchol though

However, I could smell the smoke much worse than before and thought to myself...sheez! did I smell that bad?

10. You guys are haters. The guy goes to play cards and have fun and makes a GOOD decision by not drinking and this is what he gets. Nice. Typical.

12. I was there (the girl in the black dress) and Richie was completely sober. He ordered water all night long. He was so great to everyone at the table. He was laughing and joking with all of us and cheering on others when they had a good hand. He was having fun and was generous and kind to everyone! He looks amazingly healthy. RIchie you truly rock!
