January 2nd 2025.
Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary rockstar, recently shared a rather unconventional Christmas tradition. In a recent interview, the 76-year-old revealed that he once drank an astonishing 28 gallons of beer in one sitting. This extreme act was a result of his disdain for the holiday season, as he has been known to struggle with the holiday's forced joy and cheer. Ozzy has been candid about his past struggles with alcohol and drugs, but he has been sober for the most part in recent years.
Although the musician occasionally indulges in marijuana, he has been tempted to return to harder drugs amidst his ongoing health issues. However, his current indulgences pale in comparison to his wild past. Ozzy admitted that during his hard-partying years, he would often drink heavily to avoid having to partake in the festivities of Christmas. In fact, he famously stated that he "f***ing hates Christmas" and that it "gets right up [his] a***hole."
The rock icon's extreme consumption of alcohol was not limited to Christmas. He shared that on one occasion, he drank the equivalent of 224 pints of beer in one night. He explained that he did this to avoid the manufactured joy of the holiday season and that he finished the entire barrel of booze even before Christmas Eve.
In 2020, Ozzy was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, a condition that affects the brain and can cause symptoms such as shaking and stiffness. As a result, he has largely refrained from drugs and alcohol. He has also faced other health issues, including neck and back problems from a quad bike accident in 2003 and a fall in 2019 that required multiple surgeries.
Despite his struggles, Ozzy is still not completely sober. He admitted to occasionally using marijuana, stating that it helps him with his pain and discomfort. He also praised his wife Sharon as his motivation to stay away from harder drugs. He shared that she constantly "kicks [his] butt" and would make his life difficult if he were to relapse.
The rockstar also opened up about trying ketamine after a recent surgery and how it was enough to "spark" him. However, he urged those who are struggling with addiction to seek help and support. He no longer attends Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, but he acknowledged that they helped him in the past and that he should perhaps consider going back.
In the end, Ozzy shared that he is grateful for his wife's support and for the love and care of his fans. He also encouraged anyone with a celebrity story or any other story to reach out and share it with the entertainment team.
