John Daly likes to walk the talk. So, when he says that his Good Boy Vodka is the best and you should drink it, Daly does it too. In fact, more than what you drink. How much more? More than a dozen in the least. The two-time Major winner, infamous for his battles with alcoholism and relapse, once again spoke candidly about his love for drinking.

But fans were anything but impressed with Daly bragging about his alcohol consumption. They pointed out that he had bladder cancer previously. Daly, 57, is setting all the wrong examples, as they claimed, years after going through rehab to cure his addiction.

John Daly can drink 40?

In a chat with Tucker Carlson, Daly revealed that he can still guzzle down a copious amount of alcohol. Daly has his Signature brand, Good Boy Vodka. Carlson asked how many of those ‘good boys’ he could gulp at once. Daly replied, “I can drink forty of these in  a day.”

Notably, Daly has been in rehab twice for alcoholism. After staying sober for 26 months, Daly fell off the wagon in 1999. In fact, he lost his contract with Callaway Golf because the contract included he wouldn’t drink or gamble again. Not that he had any regrets.

So, a shocked Carlson asked again, “How many?”. “40, easily,” Daly said, without any surprise. Sitting beside him was Kid Rock, smoking a cigar. Pointing towards the American rapper, the PGA Tour Pro said, “I’ve sat with him and drank three bottles of vodka.” Kid Rock, chuckled and added, “Confirmed.”

Daly has voiced his love for booze before, but rarely has he found strong support. This time, too, fans felt Daly was exaggerating. Even then, the PGA Tour Pro shouldn’t be bragging about severe alcoholism, they felt. 

Fans are not on board with Daly’s revelation 

Netizens were ruthless in slamming Daly for his comments. Some resort to sarcasm, while others were more direct in criticizing the 1995 Open Championship winner. 

A section of netizens felt it was just a few old men past their prime bragging about their drinking ability. “Old dudes talking about how much they can drink as a brag.” One fan pointed out that it feels good until the effects start showing up. “It’s all good until you wake up shaking like a leaf cuz the DT’s are so bad and you don’t know what to do.” Daly, notably, was drunk on the course twice; one time he even beat Tiger Woods, by his own admission.

Some people thought John Daly had become irrelevant. They are least interested in watching Daly talk about how much he can drink. “Why am I seeing this bulls**t?,” commented one of them. While some folks on the Internet straightaway called him a liar, They felt Daly, despite cutting back on his alcohol consumption, was doing this to market his product. “JD (is) lying. He’s cut way back on the booze and cigs since his bladder cancer surgery. Doctors have warned him it may come back and he needs to slow his roll. This is just image marketing. There is no glamour in alcoholism.”

Others, too, thought the same. One fan wrote, “Bragging about severe alcoholism really is a bit strange.” While some felt it was a bit juvenile to brag about this, “It would be cool if you were in high school.”

Be it honest admission or marketing, it hasn’t worked well for John Daly. The 57-year-old,  notorious for his bold choices, be it on drinks, sponsorships, or apparel, has once again landed in the crosshairs for his alcohol consumption.
