Watch: Tommy Lee Talks About How Used To Drink Two GALLONS Of Vodka Per Day During His Party Days
Source - Tommy Lee used to down an ungodly amount of booze when he was young(er) and dumb -- which is why he's in complete shock over his clean bill of health now, and we can't blame him.
The Mötley Crüe drummer was chit-chatting with Bill Maher on his 'Club Random' podcast, and revealed the extent of just how much he used to drink in his heyday. TL says he guzzled up to TWO GALLONS of alcohol daily -- hard liquor, in fact.
His drink of choice back ... straight vodka, or at least that's what Tommy suggests here.
The Video:
First of all, no, Tommy, you didn't drink two gallons of vodka per day. You were drunk so you thought you drank two gallons of vodka per day. It is anatomically impossible for a human being (even one that's high on on cocaine) to drink that much alcohol on a daily basis and survive. Then again, Ric Flair drank twenty drinks per day for two decades and he's (relatively) fine. I drank a bottle of Vodka on Friday night and ate an entire apple pie and I'm (relatively) fine. So yes, there are medical anomalies I'm just not sure Tommy is one of them given his BMI. But what do I know? I'm not a doctor. He very well could have been Shoenice-ing himself all those years and we'll never know.
Here's what he had to say...
Tommy says that he now realizes he was on a death mission back in those days -- adding, "Your liver is on crutches at that point; it's just barely functioning."
What's even crazier is how Tommy's organs are holding up these days … not to mention the rest of his body. According to him, doctors have checked him out inside and out -- and they've given him a thumbs up … telling him he's as clean as a whistle and in good shape.
What's just as surprising here is that Tommy's former drinking problem was ongoing as recently as 2019 … when he says he finally got sober. Again -- it's unbelievable he's alright.
"Liver on crutches" seems like a bit of an understatement. Whatever. Tommy is alive and that's all that matters. Long live rock and roll. That's it for this one. Have a lovely day.
