Alice Cooper has been sober for 42 years, but the shock rocker recently shared in a new interview with People that you don’t need alcohol to embody a punk rock spirit. Cooper is promoting his new partnership with WhistlePig that has produced an alcohol-free version of an Old Fashioned dubbed, The Sex, Drugs, Rock & Dry Cocktail. The drink is paired with a special rye-infused vinyl pressing of Cooper’s 2019 EP, Breadcrumbs, with 100% of the proceeds going to Giving Kitchen, which provides assistance to food service workers. Cooper says his sobriety hasn’t hindered his rockstar persona. “Rock ‘n’ roll is more of an attitude,” Cooper says. “You don’t have to be drunk or high to be a rocker, you know. It’s just an attitude.” He praises the positive shift in the music industry’s attitude towards sobriety since the ‘70s, as he prepares to embark on his Too Close For Comfort World Tour on January 31.
