Reasoning & Evidence09 Jul 2026
True. Contemporary reporting on Farage’s 2011 interview says that, according to his first book, he wrote that he was "drinking more or less continuously," which matches the claim. Sources: The Independent interview with Nigel Farage (independent.co.uk); High Profiles interview transcript (highprofiles.info).
From article
You write about how much fun you had, ‘drinking more or less continuously’, and what shedloads of money you were getting. What have you got in common with the kind of people you identify as the rank and file of Ukip: farmers, deep-sea fishermen, small shopkeepers? These are people whose living is often precarious, sometimes very dangerous, never ‘fun’, and they work very hard.
