Ross Barkley has opened up on his decision to become teetotal after struggling with alcohol at different points in his career.
The midfielder is currently enjoying a resurgent spell at Aston Villa under Unai Emery, but the 31-year-old has endured low points as well as high ones since making his teenage debut for his boyhood club Everton.
Among those have been a few public incidents involving alcohol, which have in turn sparked Barkley's decision to play the remainder of his career without indulging in it.
