If you have access to the "Orange Bible" as some people call it - the book titled "U2 At The End of the World," the author, Bill Flanagan was able to interview the band about it and get more details.

I've read in the new book about Bono, that Adam hasn't had a drink since 1996.

I think she's talking about the new Bono biography by Laura Jackson. I saw it at Barnes & Noble last week but didn't get it. I really want to buy it but I'm afraid if I do, my schoolwork will suffer badly. I'm trying to show constraint but I don't think I can wait until the end of the semester.

The name of the book is Bono.
His Life, Music, and Passions
By Laura Jackson
I'm half way through reading the book and mostly everything in it , is stuff I already know about Bono, but all & all it's an ok book about him.

I read 1996, but the point is that he's been sober for years.

Verte's right--the point IS that Adam's been sober for years. He's so committed to sobriety that he still has expensive wine at his home and he doesn't drink it--he serves it to the other guys when they're visiting his house!
As the conversation in the U2 Global Chat (Nov. 1, '02) went:
EDGE: ...Adam doesn't go out doing the dinner thing as much as the others.
BONO: He brings you around to his house, and he kills the fatted calf.
EDGE: Yes, he's more, I'll bring you up to my house and show you a nice time.
BONO: It's an incredible thing, because Adam since he's given up drinking, he still, if you go to his house, he brings out the absolute finest wines, the most ridiculous, over the top expensive wines. And just seems to get a laugh out of us drinking them, and probably being stupid afterwards. Maybe that's what he's laughing at.
JO WHILEY: Is that right, Adam?
ADAM CLAYTON: Not at all. I guess I was very ambitious when I bought it, so somebody has to drink it.
________
Now THAT's willpower!!! And it's one of the reasons I've grown to admire this man so much, along with his kindness to the fans, loyality to his friends and yes, his good looks!

Re. Bono book
Don't waste your money...it contains a lot of factual errors. For example...
- it says Larry is married. lol
- in the Discography section, all of the singles before Fire are missing. wtf?
There are others; I don't have the book with me now but I can tell you there are more.

at the grammy awards? not the most recent ones, the ones before then.
Lanois confessed they had vodka instead of water in their water bottles... watch the interview after the show, it's fairly obvious.
