Radio host Jerry Agar questioned Doug Ford about whether his brother has an alcohol problem. Doug Ford went as far as saying he has never seen Rob drink.

“When I’m out at an event, and you can ask any councillor, or anyone, I’ve never seen Rob drink. At family functions, I’ve never seen Rob drink,” he said in March.

Agar then asked whether the mayor drinks occasionally. “I’m not even sure he does, he doesn’t drink in front of me. Maybe I’m not around Rob 24/7,” Doug Ford said.

“Did I have a couple of beers? Absolutely, I had a couple of beers. But you know what, I had a good time,” Ford said.
