The WWE legend became synonymous with beer chugging during his heyday, but has recently been undergoing a strict diet

At the age of 53, Austin has revealed that he has given up on alcohol.

Speaking on his podcast, ‘The Steve Austin Show’, the hall of famer laid bare that he has done so as part on an ongoing diet and exercise program.

“My eating program is going fantastic. [I’m] sticking to my exact macros,” said Austin.

“Zero alcohol for right at 14 days now. Pounds are coming off. My strength is going up. Jesus Christ, I’m getting as strong as a goddamn horse over here.

“No alcohol and when you hit the weights on a consistent basis and eat what you’re supposed to, it is amazing the difference that you can make or I’m making. I’m also doing my DDP Yoga s***. Hell, I’m going to jump up here and do the splits like a god-dang cheerleader in a minute! I’m flexible as a mother******. Dallas’ program works like a b****. I appreciate it, Dallas. I appreciate it, man. That’s a bad ass program. I’m sticking to it!”

Austin also revealed how he has attempted to use medical marijuana to help both manage pain relief from injuries from his pro wrestling days and also to help keep down his desire for alcohol.

However, Austin says it didn’t go well, leaving him paranoid.

“I’m thinking, ‘man, here I am, retired from the wrestling business, a global icon and a national treasure, and I’m about to get busted for f****** one joint because I wanted to try out a god damn marijuana cigarette, so I could get away from the booze.’”

Best of luck Steve, easy to quit short term, difficult to quit forever.
