McGraw’s Hard-drinking Past
Tim McGraw gave up drinking several years ago, but only after he found he couldn't hide his partying from his wife, even via text.
“I only learned how to text because back when I was drinking, I would get in trouble when I would call my wife and she would find out I was drinking,” the singer-turned-actor told PopEater. “And then I started slurring my texts and I figured hell, I gotta quit drinking.”
It’s no doubt improved his 14-year marriage to country star Faith Hill. McGraw said he realized his drinking was threatening to turn him into an absentee father just like his own. “I wasn’t 28 anymore. I had to grow up,” he told Men’s Health in 2009. “I want to be home every night. I want to take my kids to school. That’s what’s important to me. Once I realized that, it was clear what I had to do.”
