The most surprising news of the 2016 NFL offseason belongs to Patriots tight end (and notorious partier) Rob Gronkowski. On Wednesday, Gronkowski revealed to the world that he doesn't drink often and he doesn't like beer because it "tastes weird."
So, Gronk -- who hosted a party on a cruise ship, chugged a beer during the Patriots' Super Bowl parade, chugged a bottle of Fireball during that same parade, held a contest to party with him on a party bus, celebrated at least one birthday in Las Vegas, and judged a bikini contest named after a beer (to list a few of his extracurricular activities) -- wants us to believe he rarely drinks?
OK.
Gronk had previously opened up about his bad feelings for wine, but this beer thing is new. The revelation came during a sit down with Katie Nolan for DraftKings.
Here's what we learned during that interview:
- He drinks "not that often. Maybe once or twice a week -- depending. During the season, barely ever. Offseason, you get your workouts in, you do what you got to do, and then you can go have some drinks."
- His drink of choice is a "vodka water." He also adds a "splash of cranberry."
- Beer? "That tastes weird," Gronk said. He added that he "sometimes" drinks beer, "depending on the mood." He then outlined a scenario that could get him to drink a beer. It involved a keg stand.
The only way this makes sense is if Tom Brady is slowly converting Gronk to his ultra-healthy diet.
