Post Malone Says He's 'Working on' His Drinking: 'I Used to Drink Because I Was Sad'

Posty, whose 'Austin' album launched last week, is the latest guest on Alex Cooper's 'Call Her Daddy' podcast.

Post Malone is the latest guest on Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast, where he discussed everything from nipple-based embarrassment to his current stance on drinking.

On the latter topic, as seen in the clip above, Posty was first asked during a rapid fire segment what he considered to be his toxic traits. Both drinking and jealousy were named by Posty, prompting Cooper to ask if he is currently “working on” his relationship with alcohol.

“I am working on it,” Malone, who also recently discussed this topic during an hour-long Zane Lowe chat in support of his new Austin album, said. “I used to drink because I was sad. Now I drink for shows and because I’m happy. It’s hard getting out there and I get so shy and timid and shit. So I just drink a little bit to, I guess, cope with that and be able to get my liquid courage, literally."

Elsewhere in the clip, Posty spoke about engaging in partial sex on an airplane, that aforementioned nipple embarrassment, and more. He was also asked to name his choice if he were to ever get rid of one of his tattoos.
