ROBBIE Williams has branded the nation “delusional” for not recognising the dangers of booze and drugs as he marks 20 years since he last had an alcoholic drink.
The Rock DJ singer, who has battled alcoholism and drug addiction in the past, criticised the UK for its drinking culture, saying it is considered “as natural as breathing” and encouraged among young people.
He ranted: “The thing about drugs and drink is the delusion. In the UK and many places, it’s as natural as breathing.
“You just do not think about it — you leave school then you go to the pub and that is it, and then you drink.
“What I am finding since I have actually been properly sober is what a delusion that way of thinking is.
“We don’t need any of that stuff. Then it becomes a crutch and then people rely on it and I totally get it.
“But it’s such a crying shame that it is such a natural thing to do. I think it shouldn’t be a natural thing to do.”
Robbie is now raising his kids Teddy, Charlie, Coco and Beau in the UK and Los Angeles and is planning to start teaching them soon about how deadly drink and drugs can be.
He said: “I have thought about this a lot and I am going to have a conversation with them probably earlier than you would want to have a conversation with children about drugs.
“Then it is up to them if any of them fall by the wayside. But I hope to terrify them before they even consider it.”
Robbie, who is currently isolating in LA with actress wife Ayda and the kids, went on to say he believes drugs let “dark energies” into the body.
Speaking on Instagram Live late on Friday night, he said: “I think drugs are sort of like a chemical ouija board.
“I am sure we have all been interested in what the ouija does and getting scared and all that business. I think drugs is the same as ouija board.
“I think they let in very, very dark energies that come in and consume you.”
