Danny Jones talks relationship with alcohol on Loose Men

Today saw Loose Men, the popular Loose Women spin-off, air its first episode of the year.

In the episode, the panelists discussed their relationships with their mothers, their experiences with alcohol and tackled topics such as commitment.

It was during a segment talking about their relationships with alcohol that Danny, 38, confessed that his drinking became a “habit” at one point during his life.

I didn’t like the person I became when I drank.

Opening up, he said: “I have very happy memories of playing in pubs when I was younger and seeing the joy that drink and music can bring to everybody.

“It was only when I had friends close to me that had an issue with it and then I was under trauma myself – say, if I had something like an anxiety or not quite not quite balanced mentally, I didn’t like the person I became when I drank,” he then continued.

‘It became a habit’

“Also I’d have like, five Coronas before I went on stage, just to get me through something that I didn’t feel quite mentally ready for,” he said.

“So, [that beer] became a safety and it became a habit: ‘If I don’t have that, then I might not do a good gig.’ So, yeah you are around it all the time. It’s just, I didn’t like the person I’d become,” he then continued.

“I think you’ve got to be careful of the condition that you’re in when you’re drinking, I think that it really enhances your emotions,” he then added.
