Liam Payne opened up to MTV that he drank alcohol to cope with being in One Direction. Members including Naill Horan, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson; but I can see where dealing with four guys regularly can stress you out.
“I went through a real drinking stage, and sometimes you take things too far. Everyone’s been that guy at the party where you’re the only one having fun, and there were points when that was me.”
Living the life that he lives, it’s hard to have a positive balance.
“It was just gig to hotel, gig to hotel. And you couldn’t sleep, because [fans would] still be outside. People were speaking to me about mental health in music the other day, and that’s a big issue. Sometimes you just need some sun, or a walk.”
The key is to always take care of yourself, wether you’re an rock star or teacher.
