John Mayer has some choice words for alcohol.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the guitarist and singer-songwriter didn’t hold back when he was asked to clarify a comment he’d made during an earlier interview with the New York Times, when he said he was “entering cannabis life”.
“I put [cannabis] where drinking used to go, and the quality of life has gone up considerably,” he told Rolling Stone’s Patrick Doyle.
Not only did Mayer say that his life is better because of cannabis; he admitted that when he was drinking, he often felt he was overdoing it.
“Drinking is a fucking con. How much is enough? Every time I drank, I was looking for some sort of regulated amount. It always feels wrong for me. I always feel like I went overboard,” he said.
“I never had a serious issue with it, but I remember looking around going, ‘This feels rigged. I’m taking a break.’ There’s never an amount that felt like I was succeeding at life. It always felt wrong.”
