Guy Ritchie helps Vinnie Jones beat alcohol

London (ANI): British actor and ex-footballer Vinnie Jones has revealed that he keeps his alcohol intake under control by following his director pal Guy Ritchie"s Kabbalah teachings. Jones, 44, has landed in trouble many times because of his drinking, with one incident leading to his arrest in 2003 for a drunken attack on an airplane.

Jones, who was sentenced to 80 hours community service for the air rage incident, admits that he still drinks occasionally. However, thanks to Ritchie, he can now control his behaviour when he"s under the influence.

“I had a chat with Guy. I"m not a big Kabbalah follower, but he said this thing, which he got from Kaballah - that everyone has a devil on their shoulder, and it"s like a dog, and you"ve got to keep the dog in the kennel," the Daily Express quoted him as saying.

“If the dog comes out and tells you you"ve got to have another drink, you"ve got to keep it in the kennel. So as long as you can do that, you"re okay," he added.
