During a recent interview with Men’s Health, 2-time WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan talked about how much alcohol he used to drink back in the day.
The Hulkster also revealed that he stopped drinking earlier this year.
Below is what the former WWF & WCW World Heavyweight Champion said:
“The pre-match meal was probably 3 Miller Lites and 2 Tylenols. That was the pre-match meal, then afterwards, the post-match meal was probably 12 Miller Lites.
Now, I don’t. I don’t drink alcohol at all. I just don’t drink. Don’t take Tylenols. I don’t do anything except really good water. Mountain Valley water in glass bottles.
[I gave up alcohol] about 6 months ago. Completely. I just got tired of it.
It got to be a way to kind of numb me a little bit because I had a bunch of crazy business problems and personal stuff going on at the time and caught myself after I would train getting too aggressive once again with the alcohol, so I decided to stop it.”
In the same interview, Hulk admitted that he probably should have retired after 20 years in the business, which would have been in 1997, at the peak of his Hollywood Hogan nWo run.
Here’s what he had to say:
“Wrestling has taken its toll. I wrestled almost 40 years, off and on, and I probably should have quit at the 20-year mark, but with Hulkamania running wild all those years and then when I turned into a bad guy and became Hollywood Hulk Hogan, it was like jumping on another lightning bolt and I had no idea that we were going to reinvent the wrestling business.
So, I got hooked, I got sucked in, and I rode that thing until it dropped. Wrestling has been really tough on my body with multiple surgeries and injuries. Nobody gave me the memo that this stuff was fake.”
