Zakk Wylde recently gave an interview to Christopher Toh of TodayOnline.com's Poparazzi discussing his recent stomach issues.

Poparazzi: And you had to give up booze. What's your poison now?

Zakk: I'm drinking like 6,000 cups for coffee. I'm probably going to have a stroke from drinking that much coffee! I like to chill and have a beer and watch the game with the guys, but the doctor said that if I continued drinking, I would bleed internally. So it's like, "Let's weigh the options here: Do we really need to go to AA for this? Internal bleeding or chill out?" So I was like, what the hell! I just boost the heroin intake and the pain pills.

One of the worst things I have seen live is when Black Label Society on their Mafia tour, decided to bring out a beer pong table and play beer pong on the stage while drinking and listening to Zakk play the acoustic guitar. I can see how this would have been a good idea at the time...

Man 1: I think it would be a good idea to play beer pong with the band and the crew at the end of every show.

Man 2: Yea, we'll have Zakk just riff on the acoustic guitar and it will be like the audience is hanging out with real friends at a house party.

It didn't feel like that. It was like watching someone play video games. There is no fun in watching someone get their ass beat by Goro in Mortal Kombat. You know that you could nail that Johnny Cage split, punch to the testicles faster than your friend. That is what it was like watching about 20 people play beer pong.

My only hope now that Zakk can't drink, is this shit stops. No one wants to see self-indulgance on stage. If I did, I'd go see a Hooters show.
