Mark Owen has today told how he feels going without booze is worse than being burned in hell whilst being forced to listen to take that songs for the rest of eternity.
In fact, "being sober is so bad" states Owen, that he has enlisted the help of former band mate Robbie Williams, who is a professional in the field of drinking, to guide him through the stages of increasing his drink intake excessively.
With Robbie's expert knowledge Mark Owen is expecting to leave his amateur status of "drink dependant" and make it to "alcoholic" within a matter of weeks.
It is reported that Mark Owen has been overheard saying "The worst symptom of lack of alcohol is the shame of now sleeping with only one woman.....
made worse by the face it's a ginger." Robbie commented today that if his good mate needs it, he'll also "introduce him to the world of addiction to illegal narcotics."
