Steve Austin is famous for more than just laying in Stone Cold Stunners in the middle of the ring. He is also known for his beer bashes, a passion that even saw him launch his own brand of brew. However, everyone gets older and must change over time. That doesnt mean Austin is giving up Steveweisers any time soon, even though he purposefully wasted so much beer during those in-ring segments.
Stone Cold Steve Austin recently cleared up a long-running fan rumor during an interview with Chris Van Vliet on Insight, addressing speculation that he no longer drinks beer. Given how closely beer was tied to Austins on-screen persona during the Attitude Era, the rumor has floated around online for years.
That topic came up during the conversation, as Chris Van Vliet pointed out that fans had noticed Austin hadnt been seen chugging beers the way he once did. Austin didnt dodge the question and instead explained how his habits have changed with time. So, he didnt give up drinking all together at all.
Chris Van Vliet then joked about Steve Austin possibly switching to wine during the week. This referenced a meme online showing Austin holding a wine glass. Austin laughed it off and explained how that image took on a life of its own.
Steve Austin went on to share that wine has become something he and his wife genuinely enjoy together, especially during trips to California. What started as casual tasting eventually turned into a regular getaway tradition.
In the end, Steve Austin made it clear that the rumors missed the point. He still enjoys beer, still appreciates a good drink, and still lives life on his terms. The difference now is balance, moderation, and knowing when to pick his spots. This is a philosophy that fits just as well outside the ring as it used to inside it.
We will keep a close eye on Steve Austins whereabouts and what hes up to. You never know if the 61-year-old WWE Hall of Famer might have another match left in him. That is certainly a never say never situation indeed.
