Corey Taylor’s ‘Easy Choice’ To Sober Up

As of yesterday, Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has been sober for 10 months. “I quit drinking in the middle of recording because I had a real problem,” Taylor told The New York Daily News. “I was drinking a bottle-and-a-half of whisky every night, sometimes more, waking up the next day and regretting it, and then doing it all over again. My wife grabbed me and said, ‘Either you stop drinking or I take the kids and I leave.’ It was a pretty easy choice.” The full article at nydailynews.com has since been removed or relocated.
