Chris Janson Quit Beer Because It Made Him Feel “Bloated and Fat”
CHRIS JANSON quit drinking alcohol awhile back. But he still has vivid memories of what it was like. In fact, some of them are in his song “Power of Positive Drinkin'”.
He says, quote, “People have been asking, ‘How can you relate to [that song]?’ I can relate because not so long ago I was that guy. I totally get it. I’ve drank a lot of beer in my life, and whatever problems I had walking in, they were gone by 10.”
Chris didn’t have a drinking problem . . . he walked away because it made him feel puffy. Seriously.
He says, quote, “I could still drink to this day. I just choose not to because it always made me feel bloated and fat. I’m 135 pounds, so 10 beers makes me feel like a balloon, man.”
THOMAS RHETT works hard to surprise his fans. Quote, “Every night we play a show, and we do something crazy on stage. I want people to be surprised. I want them to Tweet and say, ‘I cannot believe Thomas Rhett did that.'”
