'I used to be a happy drunk: I ain’t any more': Paul Gascoigne on alcohol addiction

Paul Gascoigne has described himself as a 'sad drunk' in talking about the nature of his alcohol addiction, and revealed that he recently attended an AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) meeting. Gascoigne said on the High Performance podcast: "If I want to make it a bad day, I'll go in the pub ... I used to be a happy drunk: I ain’t any more, I'm a sad drunk … I don’t go out and drink, I'll drink indoors."
