“My problem is simply not knowing when to stop drinking. and that’s probably why I stopped drinking for so long. I’ve never been a casual drinker. If I drink, I get to a point where I probably forget what I did,” says Billy Vunipola.the English rugby player who was neutralized with shots from a taser gun and arrested in Mallorca after an altercation in a pub.
He Saracens player, in the Aviva Premiership, and the English rugby team, acknowledged that he had not drunk since August 2022 and that he did it to say goodbye to his teammates since he will leave the team this summer. “The reason I had a drink last weekend was because it was my last trip with the boys and I really wanted to enjoy it. But obviously I went too far. I’ve been at the club for 11 years and I do stupid things all the time, but they always seem to forgive me and accept me as I am. I think it’s because they know that these things are in my personality, to kick and rebel,” Vunipola continues with his explanations of what happened in an interview with Daily Mail.
