Phil Taylor reveals lifestyle changes and sobriety

Darts legend Phil Taylor has revealed significant lifestyle changes following his retirement from professional competition. During an appearance on ‘The Smith Brothers: Not a Podcast’, the 16-time world champion admitted to a past struggle with alcohol, stating, “I used to drink vodka every night.”

Taylor shared that he has since become completely alcohol-free, occasionally opting for non-alcoholic alternatives. He has also overhauled his diet, moving toward high-protein meals and incorporating salads, which he noted he previously avoided.

To maintain his health, Taylor follows a strict morning routine involving electrolyte-enriched water, 1,000 meters on a rowing machine, and 5,000 steps on a treadmill. While he has no plans to return to the professional tour, he has resumed training for an hour to an hour and a half daily for enjoyment and to play with his grandson, Nathan.
