Robbie talks about being teetotal

Quoted from: http://www.teentoday.co.uk

'Robbie Williams has confessed he gave up drink the morning after he decided to drink himself to death. The singer, who is now teetotal, says he realised he had to stop after he thought an alcohol-related death would be a good way to go.He revealed: "The big revelation was about five years ago when the night before I thought, 'You know what? I may as well just drink myself to death. What a great way out. That'll be brilliant.' "And then I woke up the next morning and thought, 'No, that's not a good idea.' And I haven't really drunk since then."Robbie claims he first realised he had a drink problem when he was just 19 years old. He recalled to Britain's Radio 2: "The first time I realised I'd probably got a problem with drink and drugs I was walking round Chelsea Harbour and I was 19. I'd just got back from the MTV Berlin awards with Take That and we'd gone on this bender, which literally nearly involved me throwing my insides up. And I was walking round and I thought, 'Yeah, I've got a problem. Oh dear. I'm only 19.'"The star now claims being teetotal is "rock 'n' roll". The reformed alcoholic believes his life is wilder since he gave up alcohol because he always has to be himself. He explained: "It's kind of rock 'n' roll because you've got to go with however you're feeling on any given day. I drank because I felt bad and was depressed but now if I feel like that I've got to go with it and ride it though. Each individual day can be quite an interesting journey and I wake up without a hangover or a headache. It's brilliant." '
