London, Dec 31 (IANS) Irish actor Colin Farrell doesn’t mind being a teetotaller and watching his friends booze because he feels leaving alcohol was the ‘best decision’ of his life.

The actor started drinking when he was young, but gradually became heavily dependent on alcohol in the early days of his Hollywood career. But ever since he quit drinking in 2006, he has no regrets, reports contactmusic.com.

‘I didn’t lose any friends because of it. It doesn’t bother me watching mates getting drunk when we’re out. It was the best decision in my whole life. Now I go home at 1 a.m. instead of 4 a.m. – not that they would notice,’ said Farrell.
