When I first saw this quote I figured that Bono was joking but a lot of media conglomerates are reporting his statement as truth. Do you think they were really drinking vodka straight out of water bottles at the grammys? Would that signal an alocohl problem?
From The Irish Mirror:
SORRY MY GRAMMY SPEECHES WERE SO BORING.. BUT I WAS
DRINKING VODKA ALL NIGHT
BONO'S SHOCK CONFESSION
Drew Mackenzie
BONO shocked reporters backstage at the Grammys when he admitted he'd
been drinking vodka during the show and on stage.
The U2 frontman had made rambling speeches while accepting four gongs,
and even rudely cut off bandmate The Edge, saying he was just "the guitarist".
In the interview room, Bono said: "Sorry to be going on like this. You know
those little bottles of water we were drinking on stage? They were vodka.
"Sorry about the lecture. You win a few Grammys, you think you're very
interesting."
But he must have still been feeling the effects of the booze backstage because
he couldn't stop himself from rambling on.
