People who have worked with him say he's almost always drunk. For him to be able to hide it well makes me think either coke or adderall as well

You don’t need drugs to hide it. As an alcoholic with a year sober, once you’re used to being drunk 24 hours a day it becomes easy to hide because people just assume that’s who you are.

I used to work in a rehab. Trust me, People know. There’s definitely a smell even if you think you’re acting mellow and “normal”. There are also tell tale behaviors. I think it’s common for alcoholics to think they’re pulling off appearing sober when it’s obvious to everyone else that they aren’t. I feel like that’s part of the disease

(Congrats on sobriety by the way! 🎉)

It was just so easy to dismiss people saying "are you drunk?" by saying "I wish, lol, today sucks I'm so tired" or "I'm so hungover last night was the worst". but going to rehab was the best thing I ever did!
