Jonathan Rhys Meyers Quit Drinking After Mother's Death

"I haven’t even thought about drinking since my mother passed away.
Drinking is not the way forward for me at all. Since I was 27 I must have been drunk maybe a dozen-and-a-half times - but when I do, I’m like Bambi. I’m all over the place, hopeless, like a 16-year-old kid. People notice.

"Now drink doesn’t fit into where I want to go. I want to do something useful with my life. Drinking is not synonymous with that. To be honest, I just leave it alone and hope people will, too, but I don’t really care. The whole drinking thing with me has been blown out of all proportion anyway."
