Mark Wahlberg is known for his strict workout routine and the importance he places on his health. But, as he told Fox News Digital, his 3 a.m.

workouts don't prevent him from enjoying an occasional drink. In a new interview, Wahlberg shared his thoughts on fitness while celebrating his tequila brand, Flecha Azul, at On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina in Las Vegas.The restaurant is using Flecha Azul for an exclusive drink it calls the "Marky Marg."  "Tequila is definitely the healthiest alternative.

If you're going to have any type of alcohol consumption, you're better off having tequila," Wahlberg said. He explained that his Flecha Azul brand sells an "authentic, premium Mexican tequila" with "no additives, no preservatives." Wahlberg recalled being "a big wine guy," but wine has a lot of sugar, and wine drinkers consume more liquid when drinking wine, whereas tequila, he explained, makes it so that, after drinking it neat, he's "good to go the next day." He admitted he does do "a lot less cardio" on mornings after he enjoys some tequila, but reiterates that "it's definitely the most healthy alternative when it comes to fitness for sure." Fitness is definitely a priority for Wahlberg.The day we spoke with him, he'd woken up at 3 a.m., done a workout, read some scripts and had "prayer time."  "As soon as I started putting my faith and focus on God, good things started happening for me." "People always say ‘the early bird gets the worm,’" he added. "I will definitely put the most important emphasis on rest and recovery.

So, if I wake up at 3 in the morning, I'm going to bed around 7 p.m. "I definitely need my eight hours of sleep. Eight hours and just proper rest is the reason I'm able to perform at a higher level." He.
