Andy Dick may have overdosed on crack earlier this week … but, we’ve learned he actually drinks alcohol more often than he uses drugs — with vodka being his drink of choice.
Multiple sources who have known Andy for years tell TMZ … the comedian can easily drink more than a fifth of vodka a day … taking swigs basically from the time he wakes up until the time he eventually hits the hay.
We’re told he never has to pay for his alcohol … because enablers around him will always provide it to him — making it easy for the troubled comedian to get hammered.
Our sources say people around him will cut his alcohol consumption down by taking a water bottle and filling the top with vodka — about a shot’s worth. However, they leave water in the rest of the bottle to dilute the alcohol.
The people in his life do this to try and keep him stable, we’re told … and to basically keep Andy from getting wasted too quickly.
We broke the story … sharing video of Andy slumped over on the street earlier this week while bystanders administered Narcan — a medication used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose — to the passed out star. Paramedics responded to the scene … but Andy wasn’t taken to the hospital.
Andy spoke to one of our reporters in his Los Angeles home on Wednesday … and he told us he overdosed on crack cocaine … a drug he says he likes to take from time to time. However, he said he will not go to rehab despite the overdose.
