Oh. She is definitely a booze hound. I watch the food network all the time. On $40 a day, if she has some leftover money or has like $15-20 before dinner, I know she's going to have a drink before dinner. And she always does.
I'm on
www.televisionwithoutpity.com also. it's a forum about all the tv shows you can think of. and there's one for Rachael Ray and her shows. Everyone talks about how she drinks a lot too.
She has gotten cracked out this season. They show two episodes at 6:00. The first one at 6 is where she's all cracked out, and the second one is from last season/year(?) and she's more subdued.
