Justin Timberlake Once Said He’s ‘Done Way Too Many Drugs’ and Gets ‘Completely Plastered’
Justin Timberlake found himself in hot water shortly after midnight on Tuesday, June 18, 2024. Police arrested Timberlake on DWI-related charges after he was drinking in a New York hotel. Now, we’re looking at what Timberlake said about his habits in the past. He once admitted to getting “completely plastered” when he drank alcohol.
Justin Timberlake discussed his drinking and drug use in 2006
Justin Timberlake is a household name in pop, and he’s currently on his first world tour in five years. Unfortunately, the hype for Timberlake’s tour is overshadowed by his DWI-related charges. Police arrested Timberlake in the early morning hours on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, after he failed to stop at a stop sign and swerved his car while driving.
Timberlake is no stranger to controversy. In 2006, he spoke to the UK Observer about his unhealthy habits.
“I’ve done way too many drugs already,” Timberlake said when the interviewer asked him if he’d want to be president. “I’ve already inhaled, and I’ve already … who knows. I don’t know if I want that responsibility.”
When asked what “drugs” he’s done, Timberlake wouldn’t answer. “I fear that if I said that, I’d fuel the fire, so forgive me,” he said. “I’m just like everyone else: I get completely plastered. I’ve done my fair share of drugs, and I’ve been caught places with my pants down; it’s just, I make sure there are no cameras around. If we get into this whole [drugs] conversation, we don’t have enough time. Some drugs haven’t been legalized because it will ruin the other drugs, like nicotine and tobacco. Nicotine is more addictive than heroin.”
Timberlake noted that he tries to live by the rule of moderation. “They always say too much of a good thing could be a bad thing,” he continued. “I try to live my life in a well-rounded manner. We all make mistakes.”

Details continue to emerge regarding Justin Timberlake’s arrest on June 18, 2024. Timberlake was drinking at the American Hotel in Sag Harbor, Long Island, when he allegedly took someone else’s drink and drank it when they went to the bathroom.
“He was wasted,” an eyewitness told the New York Post. “At one point, just before closing, somebody got up to go to the bathroom and left his drink on the table. When [the man] came back, [Timberlake] was drinking his drink. The guy goes, ‘Justin, that’s my drink!'”
When police officers stopped Timberlake, he claimed he had one martini at the bar and refused a breathalyzer test. However, officers noticed his drunken behavior.
An insider alleged to Page Six that Timberlake has a “major alcohol problem” that many people know about. “It’s not a secret. Everyone knows,” the music insider said. “He has a real drinking problem, a lot of weed — but a major alcohol problem, and he’s been hiding and masking it for years.”

“She had to film yesterday,” the source said. “She doesn’t like any attention on the family, especially not negative.” The insider added that Biel “will always be by” Timberlake’s side as he goes through life’s ups and downs.
Another source who saw Biel on set said she looked focused on filming. “The cast and crew have nothing but positive things to say about her,” they added. “You can tell she’s excited about working.”
