Last week we reported that former Newcastle United player Paul Gascoigne had propelled his way to a British loony bin after an unprovoked malee ensued at a hotel he was residing in kicked him out for disorderly conduct. Well, that’s putting it mildly. Reports today may provide further insight into “Gazza” going “gaga.”

Trouble soccer legend Paul Gascoigne said he spent £16,000 trying to cure his addiction to RED BULL. Gazza — who has been sectioned under the Mental Health Act — was downing 50 cans of the energy drink every DAY.

We’ll refuse the amateur-esque “Red Bull gives you wings” jibe to simply illuminate another observation: consistently having to urinate will frustrate the hell out of any drunken bastard. Paul, we totally understand your wacko-ness. Tack this on the weirdest addictions of the 21st Century list, stat.
