Sir Billy Connolly has opened up about avoiding alcohol, particularly at breakfast time.The comedy star recalls: "I was in a hotel in Arran in the Clyde and I ordered porridge for my breakfast. "I'd stopped drinking about a year before and was still missing it.
The waitress said, 'Would you like porridge royale? how does that sound?' And I said that sounds pretty damn good from where I'm standing.""So I was waiting for my porridge royale, wondering what it included, and when it came, I had a spoonful and it was porridge made with whisky!
I'll never forget it. Every nerve in my body went 'That's it! Ha, Now you're talking! Get it down you!'" But he knew he had to stick to non-alcoholic food or face problems again, writes The Mirror.He explains in his new show Billy Connolly Does...: "When you give up drinking, your body goes on guard.
