Tim McGraw is a changed man. He quit drinking more than two years ago, after years of living the party lifestyle out on the road. The husband of Faith Hill and father of three doesn’t even know how he survived the early part of his career, but these days are definitely much easier to handle.
“Ten years ago you could recover from the road a lot quicker,” Tim tells CMT. “In the past, to get warmed up for a show, everybody would do a shot or something. It warmed you up for the show, got you loose, and you’re ready to go. I found myself halfway through the show before I really felt like I was into the show [and] felt like I was really able to enjoy it. Then by the time the show was over, I felt like I really wanted to keep going … hence why you kept going after the show by having beers.”
