London, July 4 (IANS) Singer Mark Owen prefers eating chocolate rather than going out for drinking after performing with pop group Take That.

Owen gave up drinking last year after confessing of alcohol addiction and disclosing that he had cheated on wife Emma.

‘What’s replaced the temptations? Green & Blacks organic milk chocolate! The world when you drink is different to when you don’t. So different,’ femalefirst.co.uk quoted the 39-year-old as saying.

‘There are different habits when you drink. I would come off stage and start drinking. Just head to the bar. That’s what everyone does when they finish the show. Then you realise you don’t need to go to the bar. You just don’t need to go there,’ he added.
