![You’ve said you don’t really drink or do drugs but that you get drunk once a year. What would be the occasion?
I just got drunk with Ed Sheeran — I drank two Modelos and I got put on my ass. This was at Santa’s Pub [in Nashville] — me, Noah Kahan and Ed Sheeran. They had just played something, and Ed was like, “Do you want a drink?” I was like, “If I’m getting drunk this year, it’s getting drunk with Ed Sheeran.” So he gave me a Modelo, and I was like, “Whoa, I’m feeling this.” He’s like, “OK, dude, I’m on my 11th.” He hands me a second one, and my wife had to drive me home.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ts7lo7rsa5dqdjoqbpfzkdgb/bafkreibkpinoqcs4ueskc2djld5nnzxzi6pz6kzogznyroof76octq3nc4)
