Due to the blood transfusions that George Clooney is receiving for his spinal injury last year, GC has had to cap his drinking.

The actor was left in agony when a stunt in his movie SYRIANA backfired, leaving the actor with spinal fluid dripping out of his nose. He underwent months of agonizing spinal cap surgery and wore a neck brace to a couple of Hollywood functions – and he’s still not completely recovered.

He explains, “They take blood out of my arm and inject it into my spine. It’s a slow, ongoing process, but it’s getting better. “You can’t drink when you do it. You have to wait a couple of weeks. That’s cruel, man, that’s not cool for an Irishman.”

Let’s all say a little prayer for George, so he can get back on the bottle ASAP.
