Andy Dick drinks alcohol from morning to night, but uses fewer drugs

Andy Dick may have overdosed on crack earlier this week… but we learned he drinks alcohol more often than drugs – with vodka being his drink of choice.

Multiple sources who have known Andy for years tell TMZ that the comedian can easily drink more than a fifth of vodka per day. He takes sips from the moment he wakes up until the moment he finally hits the hay.

We’re told he never has to pay for his alcohol… because the people around him will always provide it to him – making it easy for the troubled comedian to get hit.

Our sources say people around him will cut back on his alcohol consumption by taking a water bottle and filling the cap with vodka – about a shot’s worth. However, they leave water in the rest of the bottle to dilute the alcohol.

The people in his life do this to keep him stable, we’re told… and to keep Andy from getting drunk too quickly.

We told the story…we’re sharing a video of Andy collapsed on the street earlier this week, as bystanders administered Narcan — a drug used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose — to the unconscious star. Paramedics arrived on the scene… but Andy was not taken to hospital.
