At one point, the drummer told Maher that he used to drink two gallons of tommy lee sober vodka a day. Tommy Lee is now about a year sober, but in a recent interview, the rock star recalled his heavy drinking days, which included guzzling up to two gallons of vodka per day. “Like, I was drinking just out of boredom,” he continued. “I would just wake up and be just building, just all vodka and just a little eyedropper of cranberry or lemonade. I was drinking two gallons — not pints, not quarts, but gallons, the big-handles.”

That amounts to eight bottles of liquor a day, Maher told him.

Brandon Lee is speaking out about the physical altercation that took place between him and his father, rock legend Tommy Lee, on Monday night. In an exclusive statement to PEOPLE, Brandon claims the fight was fueled by his father’s alleged addiction to alcohol. Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee has opened up about the extent of his alcohol addiction before his recent spell in a rehab facility. These days, Lee — whose turbulent marriage to Pamela Anderson was recently documented in Pamela, A Love Story — is living a nearly unrecognizable life, enjoying his collection of Bonsai trees and spending time with his wife, Brittany Furlan.

It’s always just sort of– this particular instance, I had been home. Idle time at home, not touring, just being at home, I did what I told you. Lee’s new album ‘Andro’ will be out on October 16, while Mötley Crüe’s reunion tour, alongside Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, has been pushed back to 2021. Speaking to Yahoo Entertainment, Lee explained his history of being “on and off” substance dependance “for a long time,” including a previous four-year period of sobriety. “I just celebrated a year of sobriety,” said Lee, with Maher joking, “What’s there to celebrate?” Lee countered, “That’s the problem. I make it a year and then I’m so stoked that I made it a year that I celebrate.” Tommy Lee revealed that the “Good Times” may have been hazardous to his health.

After discussing some of the things he did in his youth, like Motley Crue challenging Guns N’ Roses to see who could outdrink the other, Lee spoke specifically about his alcohol intake during those early days. All jokes aside, Lee — who admitted to taking ecstasy and pills with swigs of Cristal or shots of Goldschläger throughout his life in the 2001 Mötley Crüe memoir, “The Dirt” — understands that his body has taken a beating from his wild and crazy past. During the interview on Maher’s podcast, “Club Random,” he opened up about his struggle with alcoholism. “She was like, ‘Baby, I don’t know, I don’t think I’ve ever even seen anybody drink that much.

New THREE DAYS GRACE Album Is ‘Almost Done’

While chatting on Bill Maher‘s Club Random podcast, Lee opened up about his alcohol abuse — and how he’s surprised to be as healthy as he is today. His wife, social media star Brittany Furlan, 34, also feared for his health. “She was, like, ‘Baby, I don’t know, I don’t think I’ve ever even seen anybody drink that much. Like, you’re kind of scaring me.’ She was definitely concerned, and her concern obviously helped in my decision to just go get out of here.”

Brandon, who had been living with Tommy up until the altercation but was not at the scene when authorities arrived, has been named a person of interest in the ongoing investigation for criminal battery. So far no arrest has been made, and authorities tell PEOPLE his attorneys are cooperating fully. The president-elect fired off his traditional Thanksgiving rant on social media. I started working on it after the Motley tour was done. I’m not doing music for, like– I’m just gonna, like, reset, clear it out, and just, you know, welcome fresh, you know, song ideas and stuff.

“I didn’t notice it until towards the end of it, when I was like, ‘Oh dude, I’ve got to stop. This is fucking insane.’ Like, I was drinking just out of boredom,” he added. Lee said that he knew how lucky he was to be so healthy after all of the drinking he’s done. “I must have a horse shoe stuck in my butt. I’m really lucky. I’m grateful,” he said. “I was doing some pretty serious damage that probably would’ve hurt anybody else pretty badly.”
