Actor Alec Baldwin has urged visitors to New York to ditch the city’s famous horse-drawn carriages - and get drunk and take drugs instead. The native New Yorker claims the vices are as valid a “tradition” as the carriages, which he claims are cruel to the horses forced to pull tourists around Manhattan. Speaking at a People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals event in the city on Wednesday , Baldwin told Wenn about the traditions he took part in during his youth in New York: “I walked through Union Square on my way to acting class and got offered loose joints. Drug dealing was a great tradition in this city. “There are other traditions people can get involved with in this city. When I was younger, I used to get a bottle of wine and get drunk under the Staten Island Ferry… so there are things like that you can do.” Shut your pie hole, Alec. Go yell at your daughter.

Jackasses and horses don’t mix, Alec, get lost! I HATE to see celebutards telling regular people how they should live! Like this guy has his own life in order enough to tell OTHER people what they should do? Abusive husband and father for starters! Maybe he should put more effort into his human relationships before he worries about horses (which by the way, looked great to me when I took my son for a ride last Christmas!)

When will A. Baldwin ever learn to stick to scripts instead of speaking his alleged mind?
I agree with Edita about celebs telling people how to live, but beyond that, this guy just always shows bad karma, no matter what he says.
If there’s a decent bone in his body, it sure isn’t apparent.

Since Alec is so determined to have his name associated with the carriage trade, I am pleased to have renamed the sacks that collect the (you know what) in honor of a guy who is full of (you know what). Last week I entered the term “baldwin bag.” So, whenever you see one of those manure catchers, you can be reminded of Alec’s great crusade.
