Really makes me wonder how such a brilliant person spends their time once they're not preoccupied with work. The article wasn't too clear on the precise timeline, but it sounded like there was over a decade where we're told he was just drinking—I'd be very curious to know more about the specifics of how he spent his time during that period. It may be that for the purposes of an article like this 'nothing of importance' took place, but I'd bet there are interesting aspects to it.
