Will Young: Alcoholism runs in my family

Singer keeps an eye on his booze intake

Will Young does like a tipple

Will Young monitors his drinking to ensure he's not dependent on it.

‘I drink far too much,’ he says. ‘I don’t have a problem but I do have to keep an eye on it because alcoholism runs in my family.

'I always check in that I’m not too dependent on it and take a week out.’

Will, 29, also reckons it has affected his physique.

‘I’d like to lose a bit [of weight] off my tummy but that would mean I’d have to stop drinking beer,’ he tells The Observer Magazine.

‘Maybe I could eat less but I’m not very good at that either so I’m a bit of a crap pop star in that sense.’
