I Abused Wine To The Point Of Buying $4,000 Bottles When That’s All They Had Left – Denzel Washington

Hollywood actor, Denzel Washington has come out to open up about the effects of his past drug and alcohol use.

He recently admitted that he has done a lot of damage to his body, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, even if has been sober for almost 10 years, his unhealthy habits started with wine, and he even went as far as popping $4,000 bottles just because that was what was left.

Denzel added that he definitely knows a lot about waking up the next day not knowing what happened the previous night.

His words, “Wine is very tricky. It’s very slow. It ain’t like, boom, all of a sudden.

I never got strung out on heroin. Never got strung out on coke. Never got strung out on hard drugs. I shot dope just like they shot dope, but I never got strung out.

And I never got strung out on liquor. I had this ideal idea of wine tastings and all that — which is what it was at first. And that’s a very sub­tle thing. I mean, I drank the best.

I learned to drink the best. So I’m gonna drink my ’61s and my ’82s and whatever we had. Wine was my thing, and now I was popping $4,000 bottles just because that’s what was left.

And then later in those years I’d call Gil Turner’s Fine Wines & Spirits on Sunset Boulevard and say, ‘Send me two bottles, the best of this or that.’

I never drank while I was working or preparing. I would clean up, go back to work — I could do both.

However many months of shooting, bang, it’s time to go. Then, boom. Three months of wine, then time to go back to work.

I’m sure I did as soon as I finished. That was getting toward the end of the drinking, but I knew a lot about waking up and looking around, not knowing what happened.

I’ve done a lot of damage to the body. We’ll see. I’ve been clean.”

WOW.

The cinema of the United States, consisting mainly of major film studios (also known metonymously as Hollywood) along with some independent films, has had a large effect on the global film industry since the early 20th century.

The dominant style of American cinema is classical Hollywood cinema, which developed from 1910 to 1962 and is still typical of most films made there to this day.

Hollywood is considered to be the oldest film industry, in the sense of being the place where the earliest film studios and production companies emerged. It is the birthplace of various genres of cinema —among them comedy, drama, action, the musical, romance, horror, science fiction, and the epic—and has set the example for other national film industries.

Many of Hollywood’s highest-grossing movies have generated more box-office revenue and ticket sales outside the United States than films made elsewhere. The United States is a leading pioneer in motion picture engineering and technology.
