#8 He is a teetotaler
Bale is one of the few footballers who entirely shies away from any sort of alcoholic drink, claiming that he simply does not like the taste. “I just don’t like to drink, to be honest. It’s not the fact that I choose not to drink alcohol. I just don’t like the taste of it. I’ve obviously tasted it, but I just don’t like it so it doesn’t do anything for me to be honest.”
He has maintained that his favourite drink has always been a cold glass of water – a line I’m sure a lot of us can agree with. His lifestyle makes him a poster-boy for any aspiring young footballer.
