Singer Vladimir Presnyakov, in a candid interview, recalled a period when he drank several bottles of cognac a day with friends. The artist admitted that over time, alcohol addiction began to destroy his life and affected his circle of friends.
Vladimir Presnyakov was a guest on the show "Question Pointed," where he candidly talked about his past and how giving up alcohol changed his circle of friends.
The artist recalled that in his youth, he and his friends could drink up to nine bottles of cognac a day. It was about Armenian liquor, which, as Presnyakov noted, was considered the best at that time. For a long time, alcohol helped him cope with excess energy, but eventually, the situation spiraled out of control and turned into addiction.
"We drank... up to nine bottles of cognac a day. Armenian, because there was nothing better then. Then, of course, it went haywire, and you turn into a person who is, well, kind of, dependent," he said.
Today, according to Presnyakov, only a few from that company remain by his side. Among those who have maintained their relationship with him, the artist mentioned Leonid Agutin and Igor Nikolaev.
The decision to give up his former lifestyle did not come to him immediately. Presnyakov admitted that a key role was played by the feeling of shame before his future children and the realization of his own inadequate state.
According to Presnyakov, the desire to change himself and the responsibility towards his family helped him give up his former lifestyle. Today, the artist admits that only his closest friends, who went through difficult periods of life with him, remain by his side.
