Lemmy Kilmister’s guide to: drinking for dummies
Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister shared advice on drinking without losing control, saying the key was to know when to stop and to pace yourself. His remarks matter as a reflection of how he viewed the line between being a heavy drinker and becoming an uncontrolled, unpleasant drunk.
Lemmy said the speed of drinking mattered more than the type or amount consumed. Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian recalled that Lemmy bought him his first whiskey in London in 1985, when Ian was 21 and had never drunk before; Ian said he was nervous about keeping it down but later remembered the encounter fondly.
In short
- Lemmy said knowing when to stop helps keep drinking under control.
- He stressed that drinking speed matters more than the drink or amount.
- Scott Ian recalled sharing his first whiskey with Lemmy in 1985.
