“I F*cking Hate Christmas”: Ozzy Osbourne’s Hatred for the Holiday and Drinking 28 Gallons of Beer
From munching bats to snorting ants, Ozzy Osbourne making it to his 76th birthday on Dec. 3 is truly the eighth world wonder. I mean, who gets fired from a heavy metal band for partying too much? But he lived to tell the tale—and earn his spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Recently, the former Black Sabbath frontman recalled downing a Herculean amount of alcohol one Christmas.
Ozzy Osbourne: “I F*cking Hate Christmas”
If you watched The Osbourne Family Christmas Special in 2003 (yes, I’m dating myself,) you know how Ozzy Osbourne feels about the holidays.
“I’ve been saying to Sharon forever, ‘F*ck Christmas, I hate it,’” the “Bark at the Moon” singer said in 2022. “It’s for shopaholics and kids and so I’ve always wanted to work through Christmas.”
Tell us how you really feel.
Osbourne reiterated his Yuletide antipathy in another interview with The Sun, eloquently declaring, “I f*cking hate Christmas. It gets right up my a–hole.”
He continued, “When I used to do booze and get f*cked up, I bought a barrel with 28 gallons of booze for me. I drunk it before it was Christmas f*cking Eve.”

Talk about “Flying High Again.” For the record, the average American adult downs about 28.2 gallons each year, according to The Beer Institute. What a champ.
Ozzy Admits He’s “No Longer Completely Sober”
Ozzy Osbourne has never hidden his struggles with substance abuse, heading to rehab for the first time back in 1974. “I thought I’d be drinking to the day I die,” he told Variety in 2021.
Ozzy admitted on the Madhouse Chronicles Podcast that while he is “happier,” he is “not completely sober.”
“I use a bit of marijuana from time to time,” revealed the Prince of Darkness.
Fortunately, his wife and manager, Sharon, is there to make sure he doesn’t stray too far from the straight and narrow.
“I’m lucky my wife kicked my butt all the time,” Ozzy said. “She would f*cking make life so difficult.”
Talking to punk rock guitarist Billy Morrison, the Grammy winner said, “There come a point when you and I said, ‘You know what, this ain’t getting me anywhere. Surely, there’s something better than this.”

The holiday season is supposed to be a time of joy, laughter, and merriment. But for legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne, Christmas brings nothing but dread and disdain. In a recent interview, the Prince of Darkness revealed that he absolutely despises the holiday, going as far as to say, “I f*cking hate Christmas.”
For Ozzy, Christmas brings back memories of his tumultuous childhood and the pressure to be merry and bright when all he wanted to do was escape. The commercialization of the holiday also irks him, as he feels it has lost its true meaning amidst the frenzy of shopping and gift-giving.
To cope with his holiday-induced stress, Ozzy has been known to drown his sorrows in copious amounts of alcohol. In fact, during one particularly rough Christmas, he reportedly drank an astonishing 28 gallons of beer in a single day.
So this holiday season, spare a thought for Ozzy Osbourne as he navigates the treacherous waters of Christmas cheer. And if you happen to see him drowning his sorrows in a sea of beer, just remember that even rock gods can’t escape the holiday blues.
