Rudy Giuliani denies he has a drinking problem.
The former mayor of New York City and onetime personal lawyer to President Donald Trump shot back at claims from former coworkers in the White House that he drank too much. He insisted to NBC New York in a recent interview he never had a drinking problem, nor has he ever done an interview drunk.
“I’m not an alcoholic,” Giuliani proclaimed. “I’m a functioning — I probably function more effectively than 90% of the population.”
Giuliani admitted he does drink and enjoy scotch but stressed he does not over-consume the drink.
During the interview, Giuliani also talked about the public’s view of him and pushed back on accusations that he’s gone off the rails after representing Trump across impeachment fights and failed 2020 election lawsuits. He now faces an investigation into his foreign business dealings, and his law license in Washington, D.C., was suspended.

“I am aware of that,” Giuliani said. “And what’s happened is, our country has gone off the rails … I’m exactly the same person. They changed!”
