Ben Zucker expresses his continued consumption of alcohol and indicates no intention to abstain.

Pop singer Ben Zucker (42) has admitted to being an alcohol-dependent, revealing his struggle with addiction and seeking professional help. The German music star, who was born in Ueckermünde, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, and lived in Berlin for a long time, lost control over alcohol during the coronavirus pandemic in 2020.

The common factor among the individuals in Zucker's group at the clinic was the pressure from high demands of their professions leading to their addiction. His group consisted of entrepreneurs, lawyers, and doctors, among others. The loss of control over alcohol was due to the cancellation of his second arena tour, separation from his family, and girlfriend.

Zucker attended a 21-day group therapy in a clinic in autumn 2024 to address his alcohol addiction, but the exact name of the therapy is not specified in the sources. The pop singer emphasized that therapy is worthwhile, despite it being a process that takes time. He believes that being labeled as an alcoholic does not mean there is no hope for recovery.

Despite not completely stopping drinking, Zucker mentioned that he cannot control his drinking properly at the moment. However, he perceives alcohol as a reward after a concert or for relaxation. Zucker indicated that the fear of liver damage due to alcoholism is growing, but he has not experienced any negative health impacts from alcoholism yet.

Zucker has not given up on alcohol completely yet, stating that he is not ready to do so. He still drinks Wodka on the rocks as a reward after a concert or when relaxing. The singer emphasized that no additional advertisements were found in the paragraph.

He encourages anyone struggling with addiction to seek professional help and not to give up hope for recovery.
