Los Angeles Aug 28 (IANS) Television presenter Adrian Chiles has revealed that he has been drinking since the age of 15.
"I ve been drinking for 36 years since I was 15 more or less every day. I ve worked out that if I lined up every drink I ve ever had the row of glasses would stretch beyond two-and-a-half miles - the length of 44 football pitches " Chiles told The Sun.
The former "Daybreak" host said that because his drinking never led to disasters he never considered it to be a serious issue.
Chiles said he rarely drank during the day didn t drink alone or get into fights and he doesn t even get hangovers. So his issues were harder to spot.
"My entire social life revolves around alcohol. It feels more like a habit than an addiction " he added.
Chiles is now on a path to get rid of this habit and has decided to address the normality of drinking in a new documentary.
He got separated from wife Jane Garvey in 2009. Chiles has however ruled out that he it s not that he drink more because he is divorced now and said his love for alcohol wasn t a factor in the demise of their marriage.
