Flair was known for his exuberant character in the world of professional wrestling. With all of the stories that exist, it is clear that Flair lived the same lifestyle inside and outside of the ring.
Flair was asked during the interview what happened to him to bring on the recent health issues. His response was:
“I just drank too much,”
Flair says that when he broke into the wrestling business, it was the norm to drink beers on the way to the next town where you were going to be wrestling. Flair says that he would never drink before his matches but he would party all night. This led to a wild amount of booze consumed on a daily basis:
“I’ve done all my math, [I was drinking] between 3,700 and 4,000 calories worth of booze — soda, splash of cranberry — in my body every day… Like 20 drinks a day.”
Flair also says that he will never drink again after everything that has happened in an interview with People Magazine:
“I’ll never drink again. I never want to go through this again.”
