Mike Portnoy (drunk?) Drum Clinic in Berlin back in 2000

Is this legit? https://www.randomrandy.com/2012/01/drunken-mike-portnoy-doing-drum-clinic.html I wrote about it and posted the links to the video. Hopefully they're still up - I don't know if YouTube will pull them or not.

If he was drunk, he sure speaks very coherently. He's a genius anyway, so maybe that's why. He still seems really nice (if) when he's drunk.

or all Mike's flaws, which are open to criticism, the fact that he is a recovering alcoholic and claims to have been sober during this time period really makes the accusation that he was "drunk" in those clips pretty offensive.  Common sense should dictate that you wouldn't have perpetuated a rumor by putting it in a thread title like that as if it's true.  And there is certainly no need for two separate threads on the same topic.
